Blog Archive

If you click on the box under "Blog Archive," found on the right side of the page, you will see a list of dates (month & year).

Clicking on any of these dates will show you only the posts that were written during that time.

For example, choosing September 2008 will show you all of the posts that were put up during September of 2008.

You will not see any posts that were published during any other month.

Emailing a Post to a Friend

Underneath each post is a small picture of an envelope. This is used to email that post.

When you click on the envelope, a form will appear. It will ask you for your name, your email address, and the email address of the person to whom you are emailing the post. Fill out each required field.

If you would also like to add a personal message to the email, you can type one into the Message box. This is optional.

When you are finished, click on "Send Email."

This sends an email of the post (and your personal message if you opted to write one).

Labels

Each post on the blog has a list of "labels" at the bottom. These labels coincide with the subject matter of the post.

On the right side of the blog, there is a section called "Labels". This section is a list of all of the labels which exist on the entire blog.

You use these labels if you would like to see only those posts relating to a certain subject. For example, if you click on the "parenting" label, the blog will show only the posts that are about parenting.

The number after each label is the number of posts you will find listed under that label.

This makes it easy for you to quickly view a list of topics that have been discussed on the P.E.T. blog, and then bring up posts under a category you're interested in.
