Kristine  | 236 comments I’ve picked out books for the 10 categories. I am finishing my 4th Book. How do I cut and paste the 10 challenges and write the books next to them. Can I update it as I go alone. Sorry, I haven’t done this before and want to. Any help, I appreciate.


message 21: by Lynn, Moderator (new)

Lynn | 4448 comments Mod
Hi Kristine, all you have to do is copy and paste the text from my original post at the top into the comment box and then post.

Then when you want to update just come to that same post and click edit.

Don't forget that once completed you must post in the reporting thread (not here)


message 22: by Kristine (new)

Kristine  | 236 comments Lynn, thanks so much. For some reason, I can not copy and paste. Perhaps there is a problem with my iPad or slow internet connection. I will try again later.
