Benjamin Baby

For those of you who are new to blogs, here are some quick tips:

1. The main home page will always show excerpts of our most recent posts. But they’re just excerpts! To see the entire post, you need to click on the title of the post or the “Read more…” link. If you ever get lost in the blog, click on the little “house” ( ) icon in the top menu.  This will always take you back to the main home page.

2. You can use the the links on the right to jump quickly to posts by date, month, most recent, and so on. You’ll also see some links under “Tags.” Tags are little words we’ll sometimes attach to a post to help categorize the content. So every time we make a post that’s all about Ben’s feet (and why wouldn’t we do that?), we might tag the post with the word “feet.” Clicking on the link “feet” in the Tags section will take you to a page listing all of the posts which have “feet” as a tag. Yeah for feet!

3. Most of the pictures you see can be clicked to show a larger version. Clicking a picture often allows you to browse all the pictures in the post in a gallery format. By default, the pictures will automatically transition from one to the next (like a slideshow), but you can pause this by clicking on the || in the bottom right corner. Try it out on these pictures. Click the first one and a larger version of it will open. In the bottom left, you’ll see “1 of 2″, and in the bottom right you’ll see some navigation buttons for pause || or play > , next >>, and close X.

4. Speaking of pictures, every time we post a picture of Ben, you are required to spend at least 10 minutes admiring it. If you don’t, you will break the Internet.

5. Each blog post has a “Comment” link at the top. Just click this link to add your own comments. We would love to hear from you.

6. Whenever we post a song or audio file, you’ll see one of these:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Just click the play arrow to listen. Try it now! It’s Ben hiccuping, something he does about 20 hours a day.

If you have any questions or run into problems, just drop us a line and we’ll figure it out.
