Leave a comment....you'll be glad you did!

If you are new to the blogging world, and even if you are not, I'd like to take some time to introduce you to the features of my blog.  First, you'll notice the tabs labeled, "home", "discipline plan", "homework policy", etc.  If you click on each of those tabs, you'll be taken to a different part of the blog that is specific to that section.  Some of the sections I am still working on, so please be patient!  Second, you are able to leave a comment on any post I write.  To do so (and please do!), you only need to follow these easy instructions! 

1. Look at the bottom of a post.  You'll see, written in maroon, a number followed by the word "comment".

2. Click on the word comment (your mouse pointer should turn into a finger when over this word). 

3. A box will pop up.  Type your comment in the box. 

4. Then you will need to "choose your identity".  Unless you have a Blogger account, Google account, or some other OpenID, you will need to choose "name/URL".

5. When you click on the circle next to "name/URL" a small box will show up under "name/URL".  Simply type in your name and click "Publish your Comment".

6. At the top, you will see a message in a yellow section that says, "Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval.".  I will then get a message that informs me that someone has left a comment.  I will read the comment and approve it to be shown on the blog.  I have set it up this way in order to keep people who are not part of our class from leaving inappropriate comments as this blog is available to be seen by anyone.  Please be aware that anything you put on this blog (your comment, name, child's name) will be able to be seen by ANYONE.  

Yup!  It is that simple!  So, please comment often...I love to get them!

Finally, one last word about leaving a comment.  Please don't use it to ask questions.  I am going to try to update the blog 2-3 times a week.  However, there may be weeks that I don't get to it.  If you have a question or concern, you should email me at sarahriley@nelsd.org instead.  

Have a great Monday!!!
