Creating a blogger profile

I’m sure many folks, like Martin, have questions about blogging.  Blogging is simply a forum for people to share ideas.  In short, it’s a venue for communicating.   Our HB blog will provide the space for folks to comment on the weekly lessons and deepen our understanding of God as revealed through Scripture. 

 

New to blogging?  The first step is to create a profile.  While it isn’t absolutely necessary (you can comment anonymously) a profile will enable others to quickly identify you and your comments.  Note: If you have something negative to say about the lesson, by all means, post anonymously.  ha!  

Here’s a link that will lead you through the easy steps of creating a Google profile.  www.google.com/profiles.  On this page, in the upper left portion of your screen, you’ll see a big blue button that reads:  Create my Profile.  Click it and follow the instructions.

Once you’ve created your profile, use it when commenting on the blog.  Doing so will enable other users to know who you are.  You can choose to reveal as much (or little) information about yourself as you build your profile.  You can even assign a picture, if you’re photogenic.  :)  After you’ve created your profile, you may want to “follow” the blog, and you can do so simply by clicking the “Follow” button on the HB blog website.

That’s it for now.  If you have trouble or need some help, please feel free to contact Bruce.  His cell phone number is …  Seriously, send me a quick note, and I’ll be happy to help guide you through the process.  Happy blogging.

Finally.  After months of hard work and little sleep, I've created HB's first blog.  (okay, I lied.  This took 5 minutes).  What you see is not the final product, but a work in progress.  God didn't bless me with artistic talent, and I would gladly accept comments on how to make this site better and perhaps more attractive.  I'm not versed in HTML or any other fancy computer language, and so I'll have to rely on others to advance the site technologically.

Bruce and I tossed the idea around of creating a blog to continue Sunday ABF lessons throughout the week.  Oftentimes I have questions and thoughts about our lesson, and have had no convenient way of communicating those thoughts to others.  I hope this site will resolve this problem.  However, this site doesn’t have to be limited to ABF lessons.  It can serve many purposes, and I hope God will use it as a tool to advance a greater understanding of Him.
Next week, I will summarize Shawn’s lesson on Matthew here.  Consider it a forum to continue the discussion, make comments, or simply share your thoughts and insights.  I hope many will find it beneficial, fun, and encouraging.  

That’s it for now.  Feel free to leave me comments on what you like and what you’d like to see changed or added.  Remember, it’s our site.

Have a great week.  Brad
