Where Is Your Blog?

September 20th, 2008

Some of you have not started with a Blog yet. What is a Blog? Probably in short, a Blog is a Web Journal or weB LOG. Many out there, so lets get started with a Couple That Are FREE! AGAIN Read Through before you start.

Today we will look at WordPress, so lets go to: www.wordpress.com/
WordPress Brings up a page with this: “Express yourself. Start a blog.” So we click on: “Sign Up Now!”

Now fill out this one-step form, starting with user name: You may as well fill out the whole form and then may have to change some things because they have already been taken &/or used.

e.g. I had to change the E-Mail address 3 times to find one that was not already being used for a WordPress Blog. You can have as many Blogs as you need with the same E-Dress though for this exercise I wanted o start from scratch, as to document this lesson for you who are brand new.

You may have to try a couple times to get a User Name that is not already gone too.

Choose a password and WordPress will help and suggest, so you are using a secure password. Then Confirm it.

I keep a NotePad .txt File for my Sites, Forums, etc to keep track of Users names & PassWords. Or you can Use ‘MS Word’ and keep them in a .doc file

Enter an active e-mail address, click the ‘Legal flotsam’ that you have read ‘The Fine Print’ make sure default, ”Gimme a blog’ button is active and click on next! Leave the Defaults unless you would like to change or ‘Dress Up’ the ‘Blog Title’. Make sure the Privacy is clicked, so the Search Engines can find you. Click on ‘Sign Up’. You now have a page that tells you, “Check Your Email to Complete Registration”

Now go to your e-mail account and click on the link to activate your Blog! Walla! Now back to your Blog Page and you may have to log back in. … Now where did you put that ‘User Name and Password’?

Click on ‘Dashboard’ at top of page and now you are ready to “Blog Away”! OK! Now go back and do it for real! When you get it going, go ahead and play with it and in another lesson we will change a few things so it will be personal for you.

Glad you stuck around! Be Blessed till next time, DP

Book Burnings for Pagan Christianity! Important News.

February 9th, 2008

Interesting development in the making. I just received a post that Book Burning is not just a thing of the past. It may be written off as promotional hype, yet it caught my eye as I have been writing a series on “The Value Of Books” on our sister web page Book Wealth. I read the original Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola 3 or 4 years ago, and it opened my eyes to a lot of things that are a part of TheTraditional Church today. In fact I started a Spiritual Blog, called Won Preacher’s Thoughts with a remark about ‘The Traditional Church ‘ and somewhat in line with Frank’s … … … ‘Position’, (For lack of a better word.) This will be a subject there later. Here is a portion of Frank’s Post:

Letter from Frank Viola - BOOK BURNINGS FOR PAGAN CHRISTIANITY!

Book Burnings and Other Such Things …

A heart-felt “thank you” to all of you who have written me such encouraging emails and letters regarding the new book, “Pagan Christianity.” I’m so glad it’s having such an impact on so many people.

If you’re following the Blogosphere, you are aware that many are writing great reviews on Pagan Christianity while others are doing their dead-level best to prevent people from reading it. (Some of which are by people who haven’t even read the book.)

Right now, some people are saying ( rather loudly) that they want this book to “go away” and “disappear.” And they are working hard at persuading people NOT to buy the book. There are even rumors about book-burnings afoot. George and I have been called a few names, including “anti-Christs” by some who hate the book. …

I can understand how people think differently about different things. Yet to even use the term, ‘Book Burning’ sends chills down my back, now that I have become aware, not just of the Intrinsic Value, but also of the different kinds of Wealth that are a part of every book.

For those who are interested in books in general, may profit from taking “The Tour” at BookWise Pays and have your eyes opened to even more.

Until next time, Be Blessed, DP
