Help me I'm LOST!

[Sawyer]

Ok so I've taken Jay's emailed advice and moved over to Blogspot for my LOST site.

And uh...where do I start? I have no clue as to what to do now. If I could get a brief little rundown, that'd be great.

I'll keep updating my Yahoo! one until the Blogspot one is done...

I'll email you tommorow and we'll see what we can do.

[Sawyer]

Yep got the message, thanks.

[Jay]

Hey Sawyer put the map that you made on the blogspot site so i can send people to it tommorow give it a bit of an unvieling.

[Sawyer]

Ok. I posted a blog on there so it's got some content now.

I have a few questions:
How do I add topic areas to the forums
How do I change the picture of the week
How do I add/edit links

Thanks for all your help and that that is still coming!

[Jay]

Ok for the forums go to the admin section on the top when you are logged in. Then go to create board, and you should be able to take it from there, you can also make categories as well(the part that is the lighter blue on our forum.

for the links log into blogger and click your site. In the tabs on the top you should see a tab that says template. Click it and you will see a box with a bunch of html code in it. scroll down unil you see something that looks like this.

<MainOrArchivePage>
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Links</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://jayandjack.blogspot.com">Lost Podcast w/ Jay & Jack</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.oceanicflight815.com/">Official Lost Site</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.oceanic-air.com/">Ocieanic</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.Itunes.com/">Itunes</a></li>
</ul>
</MainOrArchivePage>

Just fill in the correct url and title and save the template and rebublish the blog so it will show up.

the picture is similar and i will post that in a couple minutes.

[Jay]

ok and for the pictures.

When you upload a pic to your blooger site, like you did for the map, take the exact code that blogger puts in your post here in the bold

<MainOrArchivePage>
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Picture of the Week</h2>
<ul>
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5737/278/1600/jack.0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5737/278/320/jack.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

<p>The picture of the week is Jack Shepard.</p>
</ul>
</MainOrArchivePage>

that should do
your pic of the week.

Can you explain the picture thing a little more clearly? If the URL of the picture is:

www.c7nema.net/canais/filmes/lost/sayid.jpg

Can I just enter that instead of the http://photos1.blogger...etc thing?

[Sawyer]

And there is nothing on the message boards that I can see that will take me to "Admin"

I have no idea what you're talking about with that.

And also, I can see a link on top of yours that says Admin. So I think I know where I'm supposed to look. Why can't I see that on mine?

Its better to upload that image into your blogger site so you dont steal bandwidth from other sites. Plus when you get the code that blogger puts in it will automatically format it for you.

And for your forum the admin button on the menu should show up when your logged in. Ill check your admin settins real quick to make sure.

[Jay]

ok now you should be able to access the admin section on your board.

[Sawyer]

Ok I've made a bunch of stuff on the forums.

If you still have suggestions for a podcast, lemme know.

And I made you moderator on a few boards, just so you know.

[Spam just tipped the scales]

You're LOST? I had to go and hide a Jesus stick in the one place that no one would find it. Haha, I had to go all the way back to a time when Jay and the founding Rebel Sawyer were actually friends.

Rules: If you've found this Jesus Stick then you must quote this prior to putting it back into action. "Spam I must give you credit, but the stick is now mine. Nice try Your Hero"

I'm off to drug myself up.

Your Hero,
Paul
