    So.
    I'm pert near ecstatic that amongst the new bells and whistles here are the option of a personal blog.

    But, much to my chagrin I realized after I added the "this is what this blog is about" description---I...I had what amounts to a typo.
    Now, I realize there are more important issues at stake here, but it's bugging the crap outta me and I thought I'd seek help here.

    How do I fix it?!

    Is there an option for editing that part of the blog feature?

    Now.
    Other questions:

    What do all these new bells and whistles entail?
    What's a "level 1"?
    Why does it say I've been I'm a "7 day registered" member or sumpin' like that?
    I've been here since 2008!

    Hm....maybe it be easier to ask this way:

    "Is there a specific place to find out what all this new stuff means?"

    Ordinarily I'd just hang out for hours and try and figure it all out, but my stupid freakin', pitiful and annoying health will only allow me to be online for fairly brief (for me) amounts of time.

    Little help?

    Thank ye kindly!

    You can edit your blog by clicking on the pencil at the top, near the title.

    No idea what a level one is, I just want to be a level two so I can be cooler than everyone else! ;)

    No idea how to find out what all this stuff means. I do know that the blue bar shows your total rep points, the orange bar shows god knows what and the green bar tells us how active you have been on the forum. Its all rather confusing and I hate the fact I can't work it out, lol!

    Yo Makkie!!

    Nope, nope, nope...I don't mean editing one of the actual entries, (I saw the pencil...it's just cute! :)) I mean being able to edit the original blog entry I posted; the one giving an overview of what the blog gonna be about....

    (And you of all people should have figured out the bells and whistles by now....I'm shocked!)

    1) Apparently you can't edit the title of the blog.

    2) As for the "7 days registered". That's an achievement. You get an achievement award each time you fulfill the criteria for that achievement.

    From what I can tell, the achievements are a little flaky right now.

    @ Makkies/Makkers/Aussies' Hot Moderator, etc....(heee hee heee)

    Nah, didn't want to edit a blog "entry", wanted to edit the descriptive part of the blog.
    When I created the blog, it gave me the option of writing out an entry that described what my overall blog "topic" would be.

    So I did in fact make an attempt to tell folks what I'd be talking about. (in this case, my ever challenging health)
    I used the word "through" instead of "throw" in a sentence and it was driving me bonkers.

    Earlier today, whilst writing an entry.....lo and behold! I saw the option of editing that there part of the original post.

    Ta-da!
    No idea how it happened, but h'okay, I'll take it!

    @toddwv:

    Howdy!! :bye: Long time no see/hear from.
    (Mostly 'cause I pert near disappeared off the face of the earth, but....movin' on!)

    Thanks for the info, trying to get oriented to all these new things.....
