How to get started blogging

For many of us, this is our first experience using a blog. In order to communicate here by leaving comments you first have to have a google account. Here is what to do if you do not yet have one:
1. Click on "Comments" below the post that you want to comment on.
2. Click on the highlighted "Google account"
3. Fill in all the fields, you will need an open email account (if you don't have one you can set one up for free at msn.com or hotmail. It asks for your email address and a password twice to make sure there are no typos and then asks you to type some squiggly letters for security purposes. Then click the box to agree to the terms and click the continue button (or whatever the button is at the bottom of the box, I can't remember for sure) and it will take you back to the comment page.
4. Type your comment.
5. Enter the squiggly letters again.
6. Click "Publish my comment" or you can review it first then publish.

Your comment should appear to the left with all the others as it does on the blog page.
Hope this helps.

Messages For Lee & Jeri Russell

Please post any messages specifically for Mom and Dad as a comment to this post.

Dad's Current Health Updates

Please add any current updates you have on Dad's condition as a comment to this post.

Welcome

The purpose of this blog is to allow everyone concerned about Dad to have access to the latest updates on his condition and allow us all a place where we can communicate, vent, express feelings, crack jokes, maybe poke fun at Dave, (or any of us), and basically to do when we are apart, all of the stuff we do when we are together. This will end up somewhat of a journal for our family and hopefully create memories that will be cherished by our kids, or mwybe I'm just being sappy, either way...here it is.
