How-To (and Who/Where)

You each should have received an invite to become an author. Maria and Jeff are excited about us all seeing each others "stuff" and we hope you are too!

Getting Started:
You should have received an invitation with a link. (If you lost it, let Maria or Jeff know and we'll re-invite you!)

Just click the link in the invite. If you already have a google email account that you want to use for this, log in. Otherwise, it's really easy to set up a new account (and you'll get all kinds of other groovy stuff for free, like Google shared Calendars and Spreadsheets)!


Posting your own item:

  1. go to http://blogger.com/
  2. log in with the Google id and pw you used in replying to the invite
  3. Find the KelleyRigbyClan blog in your list and click on New Post

Privacy:
We chose to make this a "public" website (so you wouldn't have to log in just to see the latest post). This means that, in theory, anyone could see what you post, so don't give out other family members' addresses or phone numbers.

Subscribing to new Posts:
Just use the new Subscribe control at the bottom of the blog.

Note: The first time you use it, you'll have to go to your email and click a link and enter your name. THEN, you'll have to wait for Maria or Jeff to "approve" your subscription (since it's based on a new Google Group called kelleyrigbyclan@groups.google.com, which we've made a Private group). My point: if you subscribe you might wanna drop a line to Maria or Jeff to go approve that.

Random Chapter: 56:
Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know. Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity. Be like the Tao. It can't be approached or withdrawn from, benefited or harmed, honored or brought into disgrace. It gives itself up continually. That is why it endures --
