Using The Blog

Well, this page is my first attempt at "mainstream" blogging. It is my intent to create a place for students, parents and myself to interact about colleges, careers, financial aid, or any topic relating to school counseling from middle school on up.

This blog has been set up to allow the people in our email group an easier way to converse with one another. Anobody who has received an invitation to be an author can post a blog that starts a new topic. If you are not a member of the email group, feel free to contact me at bsiffrin@esu7.org. We can then add you to become an author so that you can also post new topics. However, anyone is free to comment on existing topics.

After you have become an author, you will notice in the top right corner is a link that says "New Post." If you would like to create a new topic, this is where you can do so. Under each main topic is a little purple link that says comments. You can also click on the topic title to expand the view and see all of the comments connected. You can then click on the newer post or older post buttons to go from one topic to another in this view. If you would like to post or view other comments, you must click on of these links.


There is no limit on how many topics or how many comments each topic has, or so I understand, so feel free to write in with any comments or questions you have for the rest of the group. I can always rearrange the blogs so that different ones can be on the top so that people can see them first if that is needed. I can also change just about anything on the site here if you need me to for any reason.


Happy Blogging.
