Love design!!! I just came across your blog and wanted to say that Ive really...Blogging 101
Posted by Erik Rupard on January 17th, 2008
If you have a last name that is not “Rupard,” you probably don’t need to read this, but for the technologically challenged among my vast readership, here is how a blog (short for “weblog”) works.
1) I write.
2) You write.
The longer version: every so often (hour? day? week?) I write something, usually about Iraq, music, the family, or this blog itself. This is called a “post.” So, when you check the rupard.org page, you will occasionally find something new there. You, then, have the opportunity to respond (if you’d like) by clicking the “comments” link at the bottom of each post. Your comments will appear immediately (after you click “submit comment”) and will then be a permanent part of the site.
The sidebar at the right will let you navigate to different areas of the site, and the calendar will enable you to see my post(s) for a certain day. Finally, if you only want to see the Iraq posts and don’t care what my opinion is on the latest Shins album, then just click the Iraq link, and you will be immediately gratified. This is the so-called “interactivity” that all the kids are raving about these days.

Note to Brad: I moved your comment to the post below “Blog Entry #1″ (and responded to it) because it seems to fit in that discussion better.
