My dad pointed out to me that not everyone is familiar with how blogs work, so I thought I would do a quick post explaining it.  From time to time, I will write a post (like the one you are reading) and you can read it one of a number of ways:

-Read each post as an email.  Every time I write you will get a message in your inbox from me with the text of the post and a link to view it online (so you can see the blog itself and any pictures I included).  To ’subsribe’ to this feature, just type your email in the box on the right (as seen in the picture below) and follow the directions the system will email you in order to confirm that you’re a real person (and not an online bot).  This is the easiest way to stay up-to-date with me.

 -Check the homepage (www.hablasalyssa.com) almost as often as you inhale and exhale to view everything I’ve written, with the most recent post at the top and scrolling down to catch-up on anything you missed (though you would have to have a huge lung capacity to miss anything).

And another note, I will always post pictures of where I’ve been before I write a post about it and sometimes I won’t even write about it (like my trip to Madrid’s giant flea market, El Rastro) because the story is told through the pictures and their captions; so don’t be afraid to check out my pictures from time to time.

I hope this helps and, of course, email me if you ever have any problems with the site.
