Another Fun Blogging Tip!!!

Okay - so I copied this word for word from a friends friend blog. I hope she doesn't mind but I have already told her how much I LOVED this blogging tool. It seriously saves me tons of time!!! I have to mention that you cannot subscribe to the Private blogs. This is only for the blogs that aren't private so if you do this you have to remember to check your private blogs!!!
Here it is:
"So let me introduce you to my new favorite thing called FEEDS. In Internet Explorer, it is right up by the Favorites button (star) and it downloads the latest posts of all your favorite blogs and saves them for you to read. You can tell who has posted because their name will be in bold. Talk about a time saver! ha ha. So here's how you do it: at the bottom of someone's blog you will see a little link that says "Subscribe to: Posts (atom)". Click on that. It will bring up a page with just the text of the blog. There is a link near the top that says "Subscribe to this feed". Click on that. Now, when you click on your little favorites star, look at the top and where it says Favorites Feeds History and click Feeds. Then the names of all the feeds that you are subscribed to will appear. Any that have been updated that you haven't looked at will be bold. If you click them you will see the text-only version, but you can click the blog name at the top and it will bring up the full monty. Oh my heavens, why did I not discover this sooner? Probably everybody already knows all this, but for me it was a lifesaver because the feeds download and once they are there you don't have to be connected to the internet to read them. Oh, and if you right click on them (in the Feeds list), you can go to properties and set it to update frequently, like every 15 minutes if you're really obsessed. Anyway, you probably already knew all that and it was just a repeat, but if not, feel free to ask any questions and I will help you. Also, if you don't have your comments set to email you when people make a new comment, you really need to get with the program. Just kidding, but it is nice to know when you have a new comment and not have to refresh your page."
Thank you again to Anne Marie!!! I also just had a friend send me a couple pics that she took of my kids at the football game. I loved the pic of Murph chillin in his ADORABLE "Mattingly" onsie! Thanks Carrie.... (She still secretly hopes I will change his birth certificate right???)
Thanks for sending me the pictures Melanie!!

Murphy is adorable...no matter WHAT his name is!! :o) I love his name.....I hope you know that. I just thought of him as "Baby Mattingly" for soooo long..... You need to have one more, so you can name him after good ol' #23. hee hee All teasing aside....I think those pictures are DARLING. The ones I took didn't turn out as well....'cause with the little kids holding him, he had his cute little face down. He is growing up so fast. I hope he'll fit into his Yankees jacket SOON. I'm going to die over him in that. :o)

It makes me laugh about Paul too. I feel like I am the one missing out not having a little boy to take care of his mommy. I can't believe you have six kids, that is great. They are all so cute.
