2. Type in your Username and your Password

4. CLICK ON THE "Create a new post" button
5. SELECT "Compose" view (as opposed to the "Edit HTML" view)
6. ENTER THE TITLE IN THE "Title" Box
7. Type away in the big box and use the Word-like Icons (optional) if you wish, by highlight some text and clicking on one of the icons:
   font = choose one or don't
   size = normal or large or tiny, etc.
   "b" = bold
   "i" = italic
   icon = text color
   icon = add a link
   align: left, center, right, justify
   numbered list
   bulleted list
   " = insert a block quote (indented material)
   check = check spelling
   icon = upload image (when you're ready to do that, let's talk)
   icon = get rid of one of the above formatting commands
8. "Preview" before publishing (see the "preview" link at the right -- you toggle back and forth between "preview" and "compose" views)
9. WHEN IT'S ALL GOOD, CLICK ON THE ORANGE "Publish Post" BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM LEFT
10. AFTER IT GOES THROUGH ITS PACES AND SAYS "Your blog published," click on "View Blog" link (or the "in a new window" link to its right)
11. ANY TIME YOU WANT TO, SELECT "Edit Posts" in the upper row of links (under "Posting, Settings, Template" tags, etc. AND EDIT A GIVEN POST, THEN REPUBLISH IT.
