Welcome to The Lyman Lowdown

Hello dear family members. Welcome to the Lowdown. I hope to answer any questions that you may have about the blog in this post, but if not, pose your question or concern in the comment link at the bottom of this post and I'll address it later.

As mentioned in the comment section of the Gilbertmom post, a few of us in the family have discussed starting a website. But, Instead of having just one webmaster, I thought it would be easier if everyone could write and post whenever and whatever they wanted.

With Blogger, each member (which should be everyone in the family. I invited all those of whom I had email addressess for. If you didn't get an invite, email me at jrsaunders@cc.usu.edu and I'll send an invite.) of the particular blog has the ability to write, upload pics and insert links on this blog. This blog is the lyman lowdown, and only those invited to it (lyman family members) may post. Yes, others who stumble upon this blog may read the posts, but they cannot post themselves. We intend this to be an open forum for the family to keep in contact, view pics of growing youngsters, share recipes, and detail softball war stories (or anything else you want to share.)

After you sign up, (from the invitation) log in under the name and password you signed in as. Then, click on the lyman lowdown link. Next, either click on create post or view blog. If you want to creat a post, make sure you click on the Edit HTML tag which is located on the upper right hand corner of the message box. If you would like to upload a pic from your computer, then click on the picture icon on the upper left hand corner of the message box. After you click on it, locate the source of the file and click upload. When you are finished, the html code for the pic will appear at the top of the post inside the message box. After you write whatever it is you want to write, click on the publish post button underneath the message box. Then click on publish entire blog. Then if you click on view blog you should see your post at the top of the blog. If not, log out and log back in and the blog should be updated.

We encouarge everyone to post. That way, we'll recognize all the little youngsters when we see them next. Please share anything you would like; your goals, triumphs, successes and even your down-and-outs and woes. We'd like this one day to be an alive and breathing hub of lyman activity. But that won't happen unless you start posting. So blog away and let me know of any problems.
