Are you creepin' ?

That's ok!

What is a creeper? Someone who goes to other peoples blogs, facebooks, twitter, etc., and reads thier posts without being a follower

What is a follower? Someone who has become a "friend" of what they are reading.

This post is all about how to FOLLOW someone's blog and become a FOLLOWER of the blog. It's pretty simple and it really makes the person who's blog you follow feel really cool when they have 100's of followers!

So... to become a follower all you have to do is follow this easy tutorial:

1. Click off to the right of this post on the word "FOLLOW" ----->

2. You will then see a page pop up with something like this on it:

Sign in using an account you've already created
Click an icon to sign in with that account
3. You must have one of these accounts in order to follow a blog. If you have gmail- click google. If you have a yahoo account click yahoo. If you don't have any of them you can click on
Don't have any of these? Create a new Google Account
4. Then you will sign into the account you already have. (My example is with gmail)
Sign in with your
GoogleAccount
Email:
ex: pat@example.com
Password:
The username or password you entered is incorrect. [?]
Can't access your account?
5. You will then get to chose
if you want to follow publicly or
privately. Don't chose private-
it's just like creepin', the whole
point of this is so we can see
who is following us :)

  1. I send her updates because I know she couldn't be a follower - it is hard for my mom to figure it out too. She would ahve a hard time at the "make an account" page. Love hearing about the lunch on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. linds,

    I think I will have to remain a creeper for the time-being. Mainly because I have posted everything short of our SS#'s on our blog...

    If I did become a follower, it would be a private one anyway, which is still technically a creeper, is it not?

    and I already have you in my netvibes reader so why become a private follower?

    xoxo, your creepy cousin
