I have posted many blogs for this class using blogger. Along the way I found out a few things that make using this site a little easier. There have been a few comments on how to view the blogs you have posted and your comments as well as how to arrange an image on a post.
The easiest way to keep track of our posts is by going to the dashboard where you can manage your blogs. At the top of the screen there is a link for the dashboard. Here it will allow you to view and edit your profile. Also, there is a link for new post, edit post, and settings. When you click on edit posts it will show you all of the posts for the class by author and allow you to view them and the comments.
For the posts that you have created there will be an edit option to the left. If you forgot to add labels or an image you can just click on edit and make changes, then publish the post again. You can also view drafts that you saved and delete a posts that you don't want.
Another thing to make blogging easier is how to arrange an image on a post. Every time I upload an image it will always place it at the top of the post. It doesn't seem to let me move the image by dragging or by hitting enter. It is very simple to solve this problem. At the top there is a tab for Edit Html. When you click that you can see your post in html format. All you need to do is highlight, cut, and then move the html for your image to the area in your post you want it to be. Then click on the Compose tab to continue writing and view the image placement.
These are just a few things I found that make using this site easier. I hope this will be helpful.

This was really helpful. I was struggling to find out how many posts I'd written even though I've only written two so far, lol. One thing that I still can't find, and I'm not sure if I missed it in your post if you mentioned it, but I am also wondering if there's a way to find out how many comments you've left so far? I can't seem to find a way unless I keep a running tally somewhere to keep track.
