  Help!!! When I started using computers there was a green flashing light on the screen and an underscore that went with every letter you wrote…I don’t know how to blog at all (but am so excited to be learning), and I don’t even know what to search in your forums to avoid wasting people’s time…..but I have three questions if someone could answer:

  1) how do I put my categories in the order that I want instead of the order that they were entered?
  2) Is there anyway to copyright any of your ideas on your blog?
  3. How do I link words from my site like “Postnatal depression” so that when people do a google search etc, my blog will come up in the search?

  Thanks so much
  sincerely

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your questions in reverse order:

  The first thing I notice is that the blog linked to your name is protected, so it won’t do any good to worry about a google search. Protected and Private blogs cannot be accessed by the public. If you want to be found by search engines, then you should be posting a public blog.

  If you have something so valuable that others would make money from it, no matter what kinds of “protection” you try to give it, if you post it on the internet, someone will hack it. Best not to put it up. Or keep your blog private or protected.

  I believe categories are in alphabetical order, when you use a category widget.
  Have you looked here to see some very basic beginning blogging ideas:

  A link about categories:

  And another place to check is the forum search:

  Of course you can change the search terms to suit.
