Tried it Tuesday- July

It's time for July's Tried It Tuesday with Holly at Fourth Grade Flipper

The past few weeks I have been learning more about technology involved with blogging. 

I had my first giveaway which made me learn about Rafflecopter. I'll say it was semi easy. 

I just finished preparing for my second giveaway starting next week as I prepare to celebrate my Blogiversary. I learned a little more and keeping  my fingers crossed it all works. 

I also have begun scheduling my blogs to post. 

It's very easy, but its also easy to miss one important step, which I learned through trial and error. 

While writing your posts, to the right, underneath labels for your posts, there's a schedule button. To schedule, you simply click the date and time you want your post to go live. The next step I learned by mistake, but it is the most important step. 

Click publish! 

I did this by mistake and  freaked, thinking I just published my blog that was NOT supposed to be published. Thankfully after a short panic attack, I learned that I had officially just scheduled the blog, which is what I wanted to do in the first place. 

When I schedule a post to a linky party, I do go in that morning and connect the link, then update. But, if its already posted, I feel I am ahead of the game. 

I know this isn't something new for some of you, but maybe I am a slow learner. Now, I schedule most of my posts and I love it!
