Lost?

And Found

If you are unfamiliar with the world of blog, let me be your guide today. :3.

Five minute tour:

On the homepage (Home, link is in the menu towards the top of the blog). There's the main section and the right side bar (some blogs have left or both sidebars). As you scroll down, you see boxes in the main section which are the beginning of blog posts (length varies by blogs). Click on "Read More" for the rest of the post, starting where the preview ended.

If you like that post, share it with friends using the icons after the end of the post and at the bottom, be sure to leave a comment to share your thoughts! (I want to know what my readings think after all! :D.) I don't require signing in (some blogs require that), but I do require catcha verification (type in what you see) if you're not signed in.

If you go back to the homepage, if you reach the bottom, under the main section, you'll see "Older Posts" and/or "New Posts." These links allow you to see past (or more current) posts I've written.

Now, the right sidebar has some different ways of viewing content which I'll go into more depth with the below sections, but I do want to direct your attention to the last two things in the right sidebar. To follow me (be notified when I post), you can type in your email and get my new posts via email. Or join my Followers section; you will need an account (Google, Twitter, Yahoo to name a few).

Scenic route:

This section assumes you know the basics. If not, read the five minute tour section.

On the homepage, you can always see when I posted and who (me unless I have guest posts i.e. someone else I invited to write a post for my blog). You can even share the posts directly from this page. Clicking on post title or time brings you to the full content, starting at the top (versus "Read More," which starts you where the preview left off). Clicking on "comments" brings you directly to the bottom, showing comments if there are any, and allowing you to leave your own.

If you look in the right sidebar, I have "My Sites" section where I've placed a link to my site and comments form, if you'd like to privately leave me a note. About Me is a place to quickly get to know me. Use the Blog Archive and Labels/Tags to look for specific posts depending on time of post or tag.

The professional:

As they say, don't try this at home. But in today's case, ignore that and go for it!

First I'd like to direct you to the sidebar, where a lot of the fun stuff goes on. This is very customizable to each blog so what I have here may change.

If at anytime you want to stalk-I mean know more about me, click on "View my complete profile" under the About Me section or the author link attached to each post.

I like documenting things so this is a personal feature, I've detailed how long I have left before I master everything in each game. At the time of this writing, I'm done with Empire Story and very close to City Story and then Bakery Story, and falling laughably behind in Fashion Story...

Finally, another personal feature, in the menu bar I have a section called "Reedits" where I like to post what I've changed after the fact and what changed.
