	My Blog : toni maguire Toni Maguire Results of Yesterdays poll. 21-Feb-12 10:40 I wrote yesterday about how the government are considering plans put forward by the Department of Work and Pensions, to push people with mental health problems, terminal illnesses, stroke and accident victims back into work. The idea behind it being that “they will gain back some dignity that their illness has taken from them” Well, I decided to ask our Facebook friends what they thought about the plans and here is what they/you thought; 78% of respondents thought It was completely wrong of the department to try to push genuinely ill people back into work. 18% of people believed that it was wrong of them, but it ought to be down to the individual to make that decision if they so wished. Surprisingly 3% of people said “Why not?”. Here are a couple of the comments from people; Rachel; I am fully against the Slave labour idea of making Unemployed working for no wage in big Supermarkets and shops!! Its ok for people to do free unpaid work with in the communtiy for a few hours a week as it gives a better quality of life to the place they live in and could lead to finding work and looks good that they understand the work effic.BUT to force someone to work unpaid in a CORPRATE companie whos main Project is profit in their own pockets is WRONG. The workers they pay are having issues with the companies over poor pay and standards so how will they treat UNPAID workforce?? Making people who are ill and maybe suffering without being seen(mental health) is going back to the WORKHOUSE factor of the Victorian age!! Rick; I am memory impaired, and have a terminal disease. Anyone, no matter what the Department should never have the power to do such an insane thing...Work is fine, for those who can do it. I was very lucky and loved my occupation. But EMS and Law Enforcement is not the career for people with Dementia. Have you got an opinion to share? Check out my forum and let us know what you think.

How to create a Blog

Navigate to the blogs page, which can be located on the smaller navigation bar at the top of the page to the right of the main headers.

Once on the page at the top right will be a small stunt to ‘post a blog’, which will then take you to a small, short form to fill out your information.

The form has been made as user friendly as possible and requires only minimal information.

Start off by inputting your title. This can generally be a small or long as you want however, short titles are recommended and generally more eye catching.

Next you have the option to input a thumbnail image to give with your blog. These are not necessary, but again recommended in drawing attention.

Keyword tags – once you click on this box it will open up into a window were you can choose from a variety of different words or input your own in the top box. It is very important to fill this in with as many different words applicable to the content of your blog. This helps it appear in numerous places throughout the site and also ranks it higher up on a Google search. Separate each word with a comma and when you’re finished click the ‘Attach’ button which will return you back to the form with your keywords in place.

NOTE: If you wish to put a phrase or a string of words in together you will need to put them in speech marks as the function automatically breaks up words.
After this there is the option to add a main image, again this is not necessary but will appear at the top of your blog when people access it and can make it more engaging and interesting to view.

Next is the ‘ Blog Intro’ box where you can write an introduction to go with your blog that once listed, will display with your thumbnail (if you decide to add one) to entice readers to on the link to read your blog.

Following this is another box ‘Blog Entry’, where you can input your content. You can write directly into the box or copy and paste from a document into the box, just remember to space it out again afterwards.

After this your blog is complete and you can click the ‘Save’ button at the top of the page. After this your blog should appear in the listing on the Blogs page that you entered through and any other pages you tagged too.
