business again

Betty here, checking in with a tag report. After my earlier post on adding tags to posts some people seem into it and others didn't respond. I suppose I'm willing to try it for a while and maybe people will get the hang of it. I'll let you know when I set the whole thing up and then you can start tagging posts. The current categories are:
  • author
  • healthy habits
  • recipes
  • exercise (tips)
  • stress
  • obstacles (personal stories about why it's hard to stay on track)
  • accountability/checking in/progress reports
Any more? It will be easy once the whole thing is set up - all you do is type the name of the category and make that word into a link. The links list will be in the sidebar, so it will about as much work as referencing an earlier post - just go and copy the link location.

The only question I have now is: are people willing to go back in and tag their old posts or should I just do it (I haven't checked yet if I can edit posts when I log in as an administrator, but I assume so)?

Finally, I noticed that I can't see the template much anymore (although I could in the beginnning) and I think B* is experiencing the same problem. I'm wondering if it's a browser thing? I use Firefox and when I checked the blog using IE on my friend's computer I could totally see it. Can people tell me whether or not you can see the template or whether the page just looks basically white? Also tell me what browser you use. I'm thinking I'll just change us back to something basic and easy.

Oh, also, do let me know if you are a contributor here and want your blog linked to in the sidebar, I can add those links if you like!

If anyone would rather email me than leave a comment, you can email me at notyouraveragebetty@gmail.com.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hmm... the template thing must be a Firefox thing. I can see it in IE.

I use Firefox at home and IE at work, and I can't see the template in Firefox either.

And if you would be so kind as to link to me in the sidebar, that would be great (http://repressedlibrarian.blogspot.com)

Thanks for getting us organized!

Betty, I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I think the tag thing is a great idea. I don't mind going back and tagging my previous posts, though I may cry for help if I can't get it to work right.

And I can't see the template in Firefox anymore, either (though I used to be able to).

FYI: template looks fine in IE. Thanks for the tags, Betty; I'll try to make them work when I start posting. Can't wait until I can contribute! :) And feel free to add my link to the sidebar once I'm on the list.

I am not sure where to post my playlists, but perhaps a separate or under exercise?

Anyway, could you add my blog too?

Thanks much for all your hard work, Betty and Prof Me. You both are awesome!

I'm using Firefox on a Mac and I can't see the template. I checked in Safari and it appears fine in that browser. I used to see the template when the blog first started. Not sure what happened.

I don't mind adding tags to my post. Just let me know how.

yay! When I find an airconditioned location that's not work (where I just don't feel safe blogging...) I'll work on the tags and then I'll post instructions on how. Not hard, just adding a link! Thanks everyone.

Re: template - it could be a Mac + FF thing since that's what I and other people who have a problem seem to use. Prof Me, do you use a Mac?

Thanks for doing this. I will try to tag mine (I still am pretty inept with blog technology). And, I would love it if you would add my blog.
