Using The Blog!

If you would like to contribute to the Society's Blog by posting examples of your artwork, recommendations about an exhibition you have seen, a place you have visited or anything else you think other members would be interested in, give your email address to Julie Gowers and you will soon be able to post messages and download images here. There is help about how to do this on the site or Julie can give you some basic info.

The work shows how those who attended the course were able to learn new ideas and techniques to create some very original artwork.; 7 July 2008 at 15:16

Posting Images and Comments to the Blog

To open the Blog, type http://www.brentwoodartsoc.blogspot.com/

To post your own images or comment on other posts you have to Sign In with your email address and password. It is good practice to keep a list of the passwords you use with different websites – you will forget them, especially if, as it is advised, you do not always use the same one – you will forget them, oh yes, you will!

From the Dashboard, you can click on + New Post and go straight to the page where you can type a message and give it a title. The toolbar has the usual text options plus two picture icons that allow you to add an image or video. Clicking on the first one will open a window from where you can download the image from a file on your computer. You can add five images at a time and choose how any text interacts with the images. Formatting the post can be tricky but at least you can edit it, even after you have opted for PUBLISH POST. (You can instead opt for SAVE NOW and it will save as a draft that you can return to later.) Click on Preview to see what your post will look like when published to the Blog. Click on View Blog to return to the main page.

To edit the post after it has been published, which is useful if you discover the odd typo, surprisingly, you click on New Post, top right. This opens the page where you can make a new post but by clicking on Edit Posts a page appears with a list of your posts and it is from here you can edit them. Add comments to any post by clicking on: comments at the bottom of a post. This will open up a page where you can type your comment. Click on PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT for the comment to be added to the post. Return to the main page by clicking on: Post a comment on: Brentwood Art Society. Comments can be viewed by clicking on comments. You can remove your own comment by clicking on the bin icon at the bottom of the post.

There is a Help area for any other information you need.

Happy blogging!
