Hi AdventureBarbie!

How is are your workshopmembers in Zwitserland? Are they hiding in the mountains or what? Love/Peace/Happiness yours sincerely, SuperSusie

Ialready have to make changes.

Textedit is too silly, Text Wrangler is the way to go for writing
the text and eventually the html.
TextWrangler can be downloaded here http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
But maybe your pony has a texteditor already let me know.

Now for Fugu: Fugu Is really a very nice program for uploading stuff securely.
You can download it here: http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/
Take the 1.2.0 english dmg. Follow the download and install advices there,
I can help if it is a problem, but it should be fairly simple.

Now we are ready... Except that I have to give you the ftp account!
Yours Adventurebarbie

sorry about that!

so here goes:
have a look at http://adventurebarbie.net/blog
this is where the stuff can be seen in the end

i wrote this letter with a program called TextEdit
this is a very simple program, I guess you can also use another text editor,
but you have to take care that is really text, I look later where to get this program
choose Format >> Make Plaintext

now save the file with the extension .txt
so it is called telefon.txt

now i use a program called Fugu
again more later on how to possibly install this or another program:
this is a program to move files from one computer to the other safely
when i start this program it opens a window
(maybe you have to choose what kind of connectionchoose SFTP:
on the left is the directory tree of your computer on the right you want to open the remote computer,
so under Connect to: you write: o.nadir.net
just in case you need it: the IP adress is 192.168.1.136
your username your name without capital
your password i will give you in another way

as far i know you should be logged in now and see only one directory:
adventurebarbie or you are already in it and it is called htdocs
inside adventurebarbie you can see a list of directories or folders:
go into blosxom
inside blosxom every folder represents a category on the blog, so for our conversations
i made the directory conversations, we can make new one(s) later, depending our topics etc
be carefull where you are left and right, because when you klick on things left
they get copied right away to your computer and i dont know if it warns you about overwriting!
also the other direction

now just navigate to your file on the left side
open the conversations folder on the right side
drag and drop the new text file into the conversations folder
open a browser and see your text appear on adventurebarbie.net/blog! (you may need to reload)

now if you want the text to have any shape like line-breaks and stuff, we need some html
but this can come later yours adventurebarbie
