For You First Timers...

Everyone,

If you have never blogged before, there are two ways for you to participate. First, if you are a committed traveler to this year's event, you will have or will shortly receive an email describing how to sign-up. Basically you must ...

1) follow the link in the email, 2) at bottom of the screen click the Create Account link, 3) fill out the information, 4) click the Continue link, and 5) voila, you are in. You will then be able to create a new post or respond to an existing post.

To respond to an existing post, just bring up the blog at http://oktoberfestvisits.blogspot.com/ and click on the "comments" link of the topic. You will be given a form to put in your comment, and your sign-in information. Enter your information and click Login and Publish.

To post new topic, you need to go to http://www.blogger.com/start and be sure to sign-in. Select the Oktoberfest Visits blog name, and you will go to a screen that allows you to Post a new topic.

For the casual observer, just click "comments" on a topic and "follow-the yellow brick road".
