And so it begins....

Yes, I have so many friends and family members that have a blog, that I have succumbed.  No, but seriously, I really want to be in better contact with everyone and what they are up to soooooo, hence. We have a blog! 

Not that our name is anything fancy. But, it will be easy to recognize our names! We are gearing up for school and excited for BYU football to start. We are also excited to watch Jake's brother play basketball for SLCC. WE are a sport watching family, (which means I will probably have all boys). Summer has been so much fun and for the most part, relaxing.  Anyway, hope to get this all started and make it somewhat interesting. I agree with my friends that it is a good journal of our family life. And since typing is so much more convenient than writing, I believe that this will document things a bit better! Em

By the way amanda, how do i make a friends and family list?

Rachel said...

Em, did you figure out how to add to the sidebar?? If not, I can help ya!

Emily and Jake Shoff said...

I just figured it out. I am so computer illiterate! Thanks though!

I'll just tell you...:)

At the top right go to CUSTOMIZE

It should take you to the LAYOUT tab

In PAGE ELEMENTS you can ADD and ARRANGE page elements

You can add many different things to your sidebar. Favorite websites, a picture montage etc.

To add a grouping of blogs like "family" just make a new LINK LIST element.

Put your new site URL (like www.blissfilledinsanity.blogspot.com ;) and then new site name (Ben and Rachel) and save!

Is that clear as mud?
