Blogger Tips

I had a blogging question today...my first...all excited...but...I led Joy in the wrong direction.

I thought I would share my tip (correctly).

Joy's question was how did I get one of those blog counters?

It is really simple to grab one of those cute little counters...although not as simple as I told Joy earlier on the phone and kind of easy to add to your blog.

How to Grab that cute little counter...

The website that I used was www.hitcountersite.com

You are now ready to select your style, enter your information, and hit "click to get your counter code".

Copy the code, right click with the mouse and drag to copy.

Open up your blog, sign in, and at the Dashboard, choose Layout, add page element, and scroll down until you find the page element....HTML/Java Script and click add.

A box will popup and ask you for a title...to me that's the hardest part...I'm not that creative.
In the content is where you paste your counter code. You can right click and hit paste or do it the old fashioned way Control V. Save it and view your blog.

By George you have done it! Now you can see how many times I visit your page. We all know that's all I do...ha ha

Well I must go, lunch time has rolled around and then it's back to work for me. Blah.

Oh, Mary Margaret and Taylor are going to attend a Sitter's Saftey Course at the Hospital that Joy Shepherd and Carol Melhorn will be teaching on Friday...I'm excited!

GOT IT!

Wow, and it only took me three tries to get it! Now, can you give me some just-as-detailed instructions on how to make my blog cute....with pictures and all? LOL.
I LOVED having those precious girls in my class today. They were truly...delightful. I can see how there is never a dull moment at your house.
