Subj: Instructions for Upcoming Live  Blog


Hello Everyone,

On Sunday, for the second year in a  row, Romeo Edmead and I will be 
attending a New York Giants football  game.  We've been granted access into the 
Press Box and will watch as the  Giants play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 
at 1:00pm, Eastern  Time.

With the help of our web consultant, I've made some  behind-the-scenes 
updates to the website that will allow us to offer a true  live blog of the 
game.  The live blog will have its own web  address--which I will give you 
below--and will automatically update as we give  a play-by-play account of the 
game.  Romeo and I spent some time  yesterday testing the site to make sure 
that everything works, and I'm happy  to say that your experience should be 
greatly improved over last year.   Just as a side note, Romeo tested the site 
using JAWS.

To follow our  live blog this Sunday, go to  
http://www.matildaziegler.com/2012/09/13/giants-vs-buccaneers-live-blog before  the game.  When you first 
visit the page, select the link "Skip to main  content" at the very top.  
This will send you past all of the other  headline links and right to the live 
blog.  You will then hear the title  of the live blog, which will be 
"Giants vs. Buccaneers Live Blog."  This  will be followed by "September 16, 2012, 
filed under Uncategorized.   Comments Off."  That last bit is simply 
information included about when  the live blog began.  

After you hear, "Comments Off," arrow down  and you will then be in the 
live blog where content will automatically  update.  Each new live blog entry 
will be added on top of the others and  will have a time stamp in 24 hour 
format.  So, 1:00pm will be read as  "13.00."  Likewise, 1:15pm will be read as 
"13.15," and so on.  Use  these time stamps to determine which of the 
entries is the most recent.   While testing, Romeo said that it was very simple 
to navigate through the  entries.  Simply read the entry and arrow up every 
few seconds to see if  a new one has arrived.  If you hear new content, 
continue to arrow up  until you hear the time stamp and read from there.  You 
will not need to  manually refresh the webpage, as all of the entries will 
appear automatically  as we add them to the site.   

Romeo and I will be making  some pregame comments, so start following along 
around 12:45pm, Eastern Time,  if you'd like to get some information about 
the upcoming game.

We're  both really excited to offer this game in a much better format for 
you all and  I hope that you enjoy following along.  Again, the link to visit 
is:  
http://www.matildaziegler.com/2012/09/13/giants-vs-buccaneers-live-blog and we  will begin coverage around 12:45pm, Eastern Time.

If anyone has any  questions, feel free to email me at 
editor at matildaziegler.com

Take  care.

Sincerely,
Ross Hammond, Editor
