Wooooaahhh!!! It's a lot easier to post to a blog once you have an "official invitation" HEE HEE- I kept wondering what I was doing wrong, I scoured the help thingy- but to no avail until today!!! Of course- I didn't want anyone to know how scared I was that I would never figure it out!! All's well that ends well! I now have the "new post" button on my dashboard- yeeeehhhhhaaaawww!!!
