I was going to name this section “Tips” but I didn’t want you to think I was begging for money, though if you send me some I won’t complain! This page is where I will post tips on how to use the various features of the Lost Monongahela blog. Many websites call this a F.A.Q. page or a Frequently Asked Questions page.
- Some photographs in your articles are too small, how can I see a larger version? Many photographs you see have been downsized to better fit in the text column. Try clicking on a photo to view a larger version.
- What is that list of random words of various sizes under the “Tags” heading?
That is a “Tag Cloud” or a group of “Tags”. When you click on one it will take you to all posts tagged with that subject. For example, when you click the tag “PIGEON CREEK” you will see all posts relating to Pigeon Creek. Some tags are displayed in small type, some with larger type. Tags displayed in small type mean that there are just a few articles relating to that topic, tags displayed in large type have many articles relating to that topic. Give it a try, just scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on a tag. - What is the difference between “Categories” and “Tags”? “Categories” are general, “Tags” are more specific.
- Why do I have to give my name and email address when leaving a comment? I ask for email addresses to help keep spam out of the comments section. If I see that somebody posted spam then I will block that email address from having access to the comment section. I do not share your email address with anybody. You can use what ever name you want but I’m sure others who know you would be excited to see that you also visit Lost Monongahela.
