Terms of use
Posting to the weblog... Once you're application has been approved, you can start posting to the Knit-Along Weblog by going to http://www.lucybug.org/blog/admin.php or clicking on 'admin' under the "Sign Up or Register" area in the sidebar (this only appears when you're logged in).
When posting, the only fields that need filled in are the title, and the main content area (the big text box). Mostly everything else is preset or fills in automatically. When you're done writing and you're ready to publish it on the main weblog page click the "Save!" button.

Returning to the blog after saving your post...
When you're done writing and you click "Save!" you're browser will bring you to a new page telling you your post has been added. To return to the weblog do not refresh this page as this will cause your post to be resent resulting in a double post, but click the small "exit to blogs" link in the very top right hand corner of the page.

Please keep it clean! - Remember, this is a family website so it's important to keep the language clean and posts family friendly!

You also agree to use this weblog responsibly - If belligerent or offensive behavior is regularly displayed in the use of the weblog or the posts, we reserve the right to delete or suspend that users account. This is for everyone's protection.
The admins reserve the right to edit and delete posts - We reserve the right to edit or delete posts if they do not adhere to these terms.
