Sharing the Blog

Those of you with a high degree of technological savvy have probably noticed that, at the end of each posting, there is an icon of an envelope with an arrow in it. (As an indication of my savviness, it only took me five months to see the icon for what it was...)

If you find a blog posting that you would like to share with a friend, all you need to do is to click in that posting's envelope icon, which will take you to a screen that enables you to type in the information about who you are and whom you wish to send the posting to. There is also a field on this screen display that will allow you to type in an additional message to the person to whom you're sending the posting. It's pretty easy to do. (You will also have to do one of those "type in these wavy letters in that box" dealies, but do it in remembrance of Woodstock!)

The recipient will receive an e-mail with a link back to the particular posting on the blog. The recipient may have to cut and paste the link out of the e-mail and into his/her address line, but most everyone knows how to do that now. I think...

So this posting is an invitation to do just that -- and a brief explanation as to how to do it. (If you wish to let me know that you've done such a thing, that would be a thoughtful thing to do. If not, that's certainly okay. But it would be nice to know that it's working for you or a complete mystery...)

  1. Hi Randy,

    I hit the envelope thing one time and lerned what it was. I didn't send anything to anyone...I would check with you before doing that. Oh, and I STILL have a hard tome figuring out how to cut and paste email stuff...not in a word document, but with messages...so of us are just "techno-phobes"! Hope you are feeling better abd better each day:)

    Love,

    Diane
