starting
TO POST: In the upper right hand corner you will see "New Post" click on it. If you are like me it may take you a second to find it but I promise it is there!!! You will be brought to a screen were you can enter a title for your post on the dash board at the top of the screen. Please put your name and the week the post is for. You can then add your entry for the week whether good or ill we want to hear it! That's how this works in a group competition. We are all here to cheer you on!!! When you are satisfied with the content go ahead and hit publish!
HOW TO POST YOUR PHOTO AND YOUR WEEKLY POINTS:
In the upper right hand corner, next to "new post" you will also see "DESIGN." If you click on that it will take you to "bones" of the blog. On the left hand side you will see a menu under "new post." click on "LAYOUT." It will take you to the actual layout of the blog. In the left hand column you will see a place to click on "add a Gadget" It will then pull up another menu. Scroll down to Image and click on the (+) sign. You can there down down load your photo. Your name will be the title and your weekly point total will be the caption. . . .as I go back and re read this it all sounds very confusing. If you need help just let me know and I will be more than happy to assist you!!!
*****Once your pic is up all you will need to do weekly to update your points is, click on the tool/wrench in the lower right hand corner of your pic. You can then put in your new point total for the week in the caption area.
This site will stay public until everyone who wants to join lets me know and gets me their email address and cell #. After that I will make this site private for our challenge group.
FIRST PLACE WINNER: Gets 60% of the cash
SECOND PLACE WINNER: Gets 30% of the cash
THIRD PLACE WINNER: Gets 10% of the cash
In the case of a tie the winner will be determined by % of weight lost over the 12 week period. So, don't forget to note your initial weight so we can figure it out at the end of the challenge in December
