Blogspot Lesson: How to Share a Blog Post

To be perfectly honest, there is way too much that I have no idea how to do on Blogspot.  However, when I got a request from my dear friend, DrumMajor to explain how to share a post on a blog with somebody else, I experimented and learned how to do it.


The first thing you have to do is to click on the title of the blog post you want to share.  Otherwise you'll be sharing the entire blog and your friend won't know what you wanted them to look at.

The next thing is to click on that teeny word, "More" that is next to Share on the left hand side of the blog.  Well... it's on the left hand side of my blog anyway.

Doing that will bring down a scroll of choices.  Click on the Share by email.  That will bring you to this following window.
Now you can type in your friend's email address, write your message, prove you're not a robot by writing in those numbers and letter and finally Click on Send Email.

Just remember to do that first step of clicking on the post you want to send or your friend will get the blog link to the entire blog.

I hope this works for you.
Thanks for asking, DrumMajor!

Blog Lesson: How to Do a Blogspot Search

One of my Zumba friends asked me how she could find the soba recipe on my blog.

For people who are not used to looking at blogs a little instruction is needed so I'm going to do a little Blog 101 here.

The recipe is still on my blog page so by just scrolling down, you can find it.   I have my blog set to display the 10 most recent blog posts.  When you get to the bottom, you can click on the words Older Posts and it will take you to the previous posts I've written.  If you click on Home, it will take you back to the current post.

To do a search of the blog this is how you do it.


On the top left hand side of the blog you can see the search box.  Just type in what you want to look for and then click on that tiny magnifying glass icon.  For example, if you typed in Japan you will get a ton  of posts I've written about our travels to that country.  If you type in Helpful Hints or Ideas, you'll get all those kinds of posts I've written.

I hope this helps.  It is confusing when you first start, but gets easier as you experiment.
