How to find the site

Site address is http://m2oll.blogspot.com. (Note that the service is blogger, but the address is blogspot).

When you log in to blogger, the m2oll blog will be listed in the dashboard. Click on it to view it.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you could add a link to your favourites or drag a link to your toolbar. In Windows, you could create a shortcut on your desktop. Murdoch staff will have a link from the sidebar of the internal communications blog.

How to search

There are two ways to search.

1. "Search this blog" box

You can use the search box in the top left hand side.

Use the back arrow to get back to the main blog.


2. Search box on right sidebar

The search box in the sidebar lets you do simple searches on the full contents of each post.

The results will display in a window from technorati, which looks like this.


If blogger is unreachable, you can go to our page on technorati and see recent posts.

To view a post, click on the title and it will take you back to the post at this blog. If you do not find what you want, click on the link in the green box, or use the "back" arrows of your browser to return to the blog

Technorati is a site that indexes blogs. It is a good site to find interesting blogs and understand how they interconnect.
