The Bios Cabinet

For those who added short Bio's under the original post, I have taken those and created brand new posts with them and they are all labeled as "Bio's". You can get to these by clicking on the Bio's Cabinet Door in the sidebar.

If you are interested in adding your Bio to the list, all you have to do is create a new post and put "Bio's" in the label box at the bottom of the post box.

If you want to edit your current bio, there are a couple of things that you can do.

The First Way
  • Click Customize on the Blogger Task Bar
  • Click Posting on the Tabs
  • Click Edit Posts on the sub-tabs
  • In the labels box in the left side bar, click Bio's
  • Find your Bio and click Edit
  • Edit your bio and click Publish Post when done
The Second Way
  • From Rahab's, Click on the Bio's link in the Kitchen Cabinets widget in the sidebar
  • Scroll down until you find your Bio
  • At the bottom of your post, you will find "Posted by XXX at (time)". Quick Editing has been enabled on this blog so you should see a yellow pencil to the right. Click on it.
  • Edit your post
  • Click Publish Post when done

There is also another intersting thing that you can do from the editor. In the lower left hand corner of the box, there is a blue link labeled Post Options. Clicking on this link will expand the box and give you the options to either allow or not allow reader comments on your post and also to change the post time and date.

Changing the post date and time is a nice ability to have for updates to posts. You can change the post date and time to reflect the current date and time and your post will automatically go to the front page, on top. Then, everyone will know that it has been updated.

jON also mentioned having links to our blogs here as well so for a start, on the bio's that I have done, the blog links are at the bottom of the bio's.

Please let me know if you have any input one way or the other.

Peace

Great idea about changing the date and time of the updated posts.

It's nice having you around, Mike, to fix the washers in the Kitchen, etc :)

if you, or anyone else would like to add your pic, there is only one way i know right now.

send yet another email, with pic attached, to mike: bobbavicto(at)gmail(dot)com

Mike said...

You can either email me with a pic attached (the easy way) or you can email me with a request and I'll send you the log in information for photobucket, where it's located.

I shy away from making the log-in info public so some passer by doesn't go in and hack up all our photos.
