New Feature Added with Instructions

I've added a link (left hand side of blog, below "Contributors") named "Our Calendar". I've begun by putting in our flight departure and arrival dates. Hagenmaier Friends and Family can also put their events into the calendar to let us know what you're up to! Let's see who is the next person to contribute to this. Hmmmmm, who will it be?

Instructions for use: Click on "Our Calendar". Click on a date. Enter an all day event on the left side or enter a timed event on the right side. Click "Return to Home page" (located below the word Happenings)

Thanks to Bob for the inspiration, thanks to Patty for the pointer, thanks to Emily for helping me do it!

Instructions to comment on an entry:
1)Click on the tan colored word "Comment" below an entry. It will take you to a screen that has a space to type your comments.
2)You'll then need to "choose an identity", and type in the word verification. (This is probably the easiest way to get something entered, but readers won't immediately see it upon viewing the blog--they'll have to click on Comments to read them)

Instructions to contribute:
1)Click on the orange square with the white B next to the word Blogger in the upper left hand corner of the page. This will take you to a page that you will need to log in (look for the username and password boxes)
2)Type in your username and password. If you click on the Remember me box, you won't have to re-enter your password.
3)This will take you to the Dashboard. You should see "Keeping In Touch" listed. Beside that a green plus sign labeled "New Post".
4)Click on the green plus sign. Here you'll see a screen with a space for a Title for your entry, and a box with space to type your entry. Make sure you are in the "Compose" tab. (if in doubt click the word "Compose") There are some basic word processing tools included. You can also click on the blue square (it kind of looks like a picture) to add an image--THIS IS WHERE WE CAN ADD PICTURES!!
5)When you are finished typing your post, click on the Orange box to Publish post or if you want to work on your masterpiece some more later, click on Save as Draft.

Thanks for hanging in there while reading this. I certainly hope you can follow these instructions to become regular contributors!
