My account is at the upper left. It gives you the option of choosing either global dashboard, tag surfer, my comments, stats, edit profile, contact support, word press.com, or log out. My dashboards, which is next to my account, takes you to a page that is kind of like the home page where it tells you how many posts and so forth that you have done. New post takes you to a plank page to write a new post. Visit site takes you to your blog so you can see what you have there. Write gives you a new page to write on. Manage allows you to change or complete previous posts. Design allows you to change the background of your blog. Comments allows you to manage comments or do other things that relate to comments. Up grade shows you possible upgrade options. You have different options at the bottom of the page depending on if you are in post or page. In link it allows you to create a link to another web address. Title refers to the post you are writing. A blog is a place where you can write your opinions or put pictures or what ever else you want to express yourself. The permalink shows the address to my blog and gives the date. It is not there until I title the post I am about to write. It is possible we might get a quiz over this, but it would be nice if we did a review first. The stuff to the right of add media gives you the option of adding pictures and other things. Visual gives you a bar that has things like link or color or bold or which side of the page to write on. I don’t know what HTML does, but it has other stuff on the tool bar like del or ins or ol. Some give you the option to do a link or add a picture and some when you click on them write something on the screen. In visual there is: bold which allows you to bold your words, italic which allows you to slant your words, strike through which allows you to write with a line through your words, unordered list which gives you bullet points to write with, ordered list which allows you to write in a numbered list, block quote indents so you can write a quote, align left makes you write beginning a the left, align center lets you write from the middle of the page, align right lets you write starting at the right, insert/edit link lets you add a link, unlink lets you take out a link, insert more tag lets you tag a certain spot, toggle spell checker lets you check you spelling, toggle full screen mode lets you make what you are writing take up the entire page, show/hide kitchen sink allows you to show or hide the other options in the tool bar, paragraph allows you to choose a format for writing, underline lets you underline what you are writing, align full lets you fill up the entire space with writing, select text color lets you change the color of your words, paste as plain text pops up a screen where you can write something to add, paste from word pops up the same screen but using word instead, remove formatting undoes any formatting you already did, insert custom character gives you the option of using other symbols, out dent gets rid of an indent, indent puts space in front of what you are writing, undo deletes whatever you just did, redo does what ever you did again, and help tries to help you if you are confused. They are grayed out if it isn’t possible to use them depending on what you are doing. It is a place where you can add a tag. Tags enable you to associate pages with certain key words, and then retrieve a list of all pages tagged with those words. This means that you are able to group your posts by what they are about. I am not sure what the excerpt of track back are, so I am going to skip them. Preview lets you look at what you just wrote formatted how it will look in your blog. Publish lets you put it in your blog and save saves it so that you can come back and finish it.
I was born in Oklahoma. My father is a business man and my mom is a stay at home mom who takes care of my two brothers and me. We are unsure about most of our ancestry, but we do know that we have some family in Texas, California and England. I am mostly English and then I don’t know what else I am. A lot of stuff. I really hate the cold, so winters here are miserable. I’ve always wanted to visit France. I think it would be really cool there. I have a passion for history, but I’m not sure exactly what I want to do as a job. I have considered teaching. I like children. I have always been a huge people person. One of the reasons I want to go to France is to test my French. I have been taking it in school for three years and I can hold up a conversation alright. But I haven’t yet got to practice it with people who really speak it. My family has been saving up so I can go and I can’t wait.
