I found a great bloglines feature -- the ability to search from the bloglines screen. You can search the web or restrict your search - to just the blogs you've subscribed to, for example.
Last night I used bloglines.com to look up something I'd remembered being discussed on one of the blogs, but couldn't remember where. To find earlier posts discussing backings, I went to the search window and entered "backing" and restricted my search to the blogs I've subscribed to. (I have subscribed to all three BJP blogs, plus the comments from all three blogs.) Up popped summaries of all the posts on the three BJP blogs with the word "backing." I've got my settings to open links in a new window, which left the search window open to return to.
Thanks, DeeD. for a great idea -- I am so much more comfortable with the 3 blog situation now!
Blog #1 Blog #3 We have three BJP blogs because Blogger only allows 100 authors per blog. We have 260 members, so in order for everyone to be able to post, we need 3 blogs. We hope you'll visit and comment on all three.
A step by step tutorial on how to set up your own blog can be found here.
About the Bead Journal Project
The brain child of Robin Atkins, the first Bead Journal Project, which began in June of 2007, included 241 women and 1 man who were dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year.
The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, providing it includes some beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size.
The current years' Bead Journal Project runs from September, 2008 through August, 2009. This blog is a means by which we may support each other in process, techniques and design. Participants (many with links to their personal blogs or websites) are listed below.
Bead Journal Project Information
Visit the Bead Journal Project website! Visit the 2008 BJP member pages, a gallery of completed work by members who have finished 8 or more pages during the first year of the project.
The 2008-09 BJP, starts with September and continues through August of 09. Guidelines for participation may be found here. To be an official member and to post to this blog, you must have registered prior to August 15, 2008.
We have our own BJP Flickr group, where we can post pictures of our work. This is a good way for members who do not have a personal blog to post pictures. Also, you can see many BJP pieces by different members in one place. You must "join" Flickr to post your pictures.
Due to limitations of Blogger, there are three ongoing blogs to document the Bead Journal Project this year. Here are links to all three blogs:

I like this idea but can't find bloglines - any clues how to get there from here? Silly me.

Not silly -- we are all learning!

Oh, cool, more stuff to read through and yes, learn. Thanks!
