Some of you have seen a version of this post before, but since I wrote it, we have added cover 200 new members to the LYS Nation. Therefore, I thought a refresher might be in order. The following is my attempt to explain the features that are embedded in the blog site and the e-mail updates. Note: This section relates to the blog site (not the e-mail updates).

On the left side of the page, E-Mail Updates: If you enter your e-mail address in the subscribe box, you will get a daily e-mail update of all the postings within the last 24 hours, after you respond to the confirmation e-mail (a spam preventative). On the left side of the page, under the E-Mail Updates area: UpTweet – If you like a post, click UpTweet and it takes you to your twitter account so you can post a link on your timeline. On the left side of the page, under the UpTweet area: Lead Your School Resources and Tools – Links to the Lead Your School campus support site; the PowerWalks site; the Amazon.com page for “The Fundamental Five: The Formula for Quality Instruction”; and the Amazon.com page fot “Jump Start Your School”. On the left side of the page, under the Lead Your School Resources and Tools area: Twitter Updates – A running list of the last ten posts to the LYS Nation Twitter account.
On the left side of the page, under the Twitter Updates area: Current School News – Click on any of the four key words and the most current news stories that relate to that key word will be displayed.
On the left side of the page, under the Current School News area: Popular Posts – Shows the three most viewed blog posts from the last thirty days. On the left side of the page, under the Popular Post area: RSS Feeds – I don’t have a clue. The tech guys just said it needed to be there. Can anyone out there explain it?

On the left side of the page, under RSS Feeds: Followers – Again, no clue (just following tech guy instructions). Some of you do this, care to explain it to the rest of us?
At the bottom of the blog page, under the last post of the week: Blog Archives – Click on a week, and all the posts from that week will be displayed. Note: This section relates to the actual posts (on the blog site).
If you click on a post title, it will pull up a comment box at the end of the post. Just type in your comment and click the “post comment” button.

At the bottom of each post, click “comment” and you can leave a comment or read comments others have left. However, the majority of the comments, I post under the heading, “A Reader Writes.”

At the bottom of each post, click the envelope if you want to e-mail that post to another person.

At the bottom of each post, if you click a “Label” word, it will pull up all the other posts that have the same label words.
At the bottom of the post, there are reaction boxes. You get to rate the post.

Note: This section relates to the E-mail updates.

If you click on “Lead Your School”, it will take you to the blog site.

If you click on a post title, it will take you to the post and there will be a comment box at the bottom of the screen. Just type in your comment and click the “post comment” button. Note: This section relates to Reader Comments. This is how all comments are handled: Your comments, opinions and question are welcomed and encouraged. Keep them coming. All comments opinions and questions are reviewed by me. Comments, opinions and questions, where it is asked that the information not be shared, receive a private response from me. One liners and comments that do not require a response are just posted as a comment. Comments, opinions and questions of merit are posted as, “A Reader Writes…” They are posted in a first come, first serve fashion. So sometimes it takes a while to get to yours. I don’t know if it is proper blog etiquette or not, but I spell and grammar check comments before I post them. Comments are handled with a modified FERPA procedure. I will and do mask the identities of some writers, their schools and their districts. To protect the writer and who or what they are writing about. Post format: Text in italics is the comment of the reader. Your turn… This is your invitation to weigh in and join the conversation. Think. Work. Achieve.Your turn… Now Available on Amazon.com! “The Fundamental 5: The Formula for Quality Instruction” http://tinyurl.com/4ydqd4t Follow Sean Cain on www.Twitter.com/LYSNation
