Configuration of your blogs

Hello everyone I've been reading some of your blogs and am both really happy and really impressed with the work you have done.

Here are a few things I want to remind you to do (if you haven't already):

1) Put your blog in English.

When you log on, go to PERSONALIZAR and then to the CONFIGURACIÓN tab. Under CONFIGURATION, click on FORMAT/FORMATO and scroll down. Where it says IDIOMA, make sure you choose ENGLISH / INGLES.

2) Make sure your blog is on the right time zone. Go to CONFIGURACIÓN again and then FORMAT/FORMATO. Where it asks you about the time zone, choose GMT +1.00. Then click GUARDAR/SAVE. That way the correct time will appear next to your entries and commentaries.

3) Make sure that I receive all your work and commentaries so I can check that you are writing a lot. Click on CONFIGURACION and this time choose COMMENTARIOS. Scroll down to the very very bottom of the page and in the very last box, make sure you put my gmail address: mmkoop@gmail.com. (Remember to click GUARDAR/SAVE).

That's all for now. Keep up the good work!

Melissa
