How to read my blog

For first time viewers of my blog and for the not so internet saavy, here are a few tips for navegating through my blog...

First, you'll note in the dark green panel is a series of links.

Under "links" you will see the link "My Photos" - clicking on this link will take you to my yahoo page where I have online photo albums from the past 6 years or so. Feel free to browse those. Photos from this semester are not yet posted and probably won't be posted untill after my trip.

"previous posts" shows the last 10 posts. When you click on the last post, you will be taken to that post and the previous previous 10 posts will be shown.

Next you will see "archives" - which consists of all my blog entrees archived by the month they were posted. For example, under "March 2005" you will find all blog entrees that were posted in the month of march 2005, which happens to be my 8 days of Alternative Spring Break. The page shows all 8 entrees, starting with the most recently posted, i.e. Day 8. In order to see Day 1, you would need to scroll to the bottom of the page. "April 2005" and "November 2006" contain Brazil Week related postings. Starting in "January 2006" is where you will find everything about my study abroad semester here in São Paulo, Brazil. Everything is in order by month. Again, posts from the beginning of the month are found at the bottom of the page and scrolling up.

Quick note about pictures: if the pictures don't load or you see red x's where a picture should be, don't worry, it is not your browser. the one disadvantage to using geocities to upload photos to my blog is that there is a limit to the airtime of each photo each day. So if the photo has exceeded it's time, it will not appear. Usually if you return to the site the next day, the picture will appear. This won't be an issue once I get my pictures up on my yahoo albums.

Hope this helps!
