A Blog (short for web log or weBlog) is like a virtual diary, where entries are made and displayed for others to read and, if they want, respond to. Content can include text, links to your favorite websites, photos and images, audio clips and even video.
On Diet.com, we want you to have fun and feel free to discuss virtually anything from diet tips and exercise routines, to struggles, successes, or even your most personal thoughts and feelings. Diet.com Blogs are an interactive way for you to express yourself, make a record of your progress, and keep in touch with others.
Here are some ideas to get you started; you can Blog about:
To post your own Blog, you must first login to Diet.com. At the bottom of the “Tracking Tools” click “Post a New Blog”. Give your entry a:
After filling in those fields, click the grey tab titled "Preview" to see what your entry will look like. If you're satisfied with your post preview, go ahead and click "Submit". Your updated Blog will appear on "My Blog" page.
Anyone can include photographs in their blog - you just need to know some basic HTML tags and include them when you write your blog.
For example, the html for an image is this:
<img src="http://address.com/filename.jpg">
If you find an image on the internet that you want to use, you could right-click and go to properties and find the image address. That is what you put between the "" marks.
if you want to specify a size for your image, you can add a few attributes to your code:
<img src="http://address.com/filename.jpg" width="100" height="100">
Choose pixel values for the width and height.
If you want to link your image to somewhere, you can put in a link tag around your image tag.
<a href="http://address.com"><img src="http://address.com/filename.jpg"></a>
Just remember to close your link at the end with </a>
Most importantly, the image you want to include in your blog must already be on the internet somewhere so that you can get a link to include in your HTML code! You can't upload photos onto Diet.com to have them included. Be careful of what images you link to on your blog, because some sites do not like when you link to their files, as it uses up their bandwidth.
To comment on another member's Blog entry, click on the title of a particular Blog. If only the summaries display, click on "Read the entire Blog" so that you are viewing the full entry. On the bottom, there is an entry box title, "Post a Comment". Type your comment in the box and when you're finished, click "Post". Be sure to read over your comment before you submit it because you won't have a chance to preview your comment.
Anyone on Diet.com can read your Blog. Blogs are great way to network, meet new friends, and keep in touch with your current buddies; however, if you don't want people knowing certain information about yourself, play it safe, and simply do not disclose it.
Currently, comments cannot be deleted. Be sure to proof-read them before clicking "Post"!
Open the blog you wish to delete and scroll down to the bottom of the entry. Here you will see an option to edit or delete your entry. Simply choose to delete, and it's done!
