You aren't reading from the top ARE YOU??? You know with blogs that they start at the end and go backwards, right? Confused yet? When people write a blog, the newest posts are at the top, which means they go backwards!
So to read my story as it happened, start by going to the right hand side of this blog and finding the area called "BLOG ARCHIVE". Next, click "2016"--this makes the entire blog fit on just two pages, which is easier to navigate. Scroll to the very bottom of this page--click "Older Posts", this will take you to the beginning of my blog. You will want to scroll down to the very bottom of that page--when you reach the blog titled "Finally Here!", you have reached the beginning and this is where you will want to start reading.
After you finish reading the first page, and you have reached the top of that page (the final blog post on that page will be "The Glass Plant")--all you need to do is click the back button and it will bring you back to this page where you will again want to start at the bottom (which will be the post called "The Shire") and again read backwards to the top. Or you may scroll back down to the bottom of the page and click either "Home" or "Newer Posts"--underneath the "Finally Here!" post. Any of these three options will return you to the next page of my adventures. Otherwise, you will be even more confused than this post has become. It may help you to look at the dates of the posts and look at a calendar at the same time--this sometimes helps me to keep the story straight and in the right order.

Another tip, if you aren't familiar with blogs, if you want to look at a picture closer, you can click on it. Your teacher or parent can help you, if you are having trouble. Some of the blog posts have additional information in them called "links" that can help you learn more about certain parts of the blog's story.
Oh, and if you stumbled across this blog by accident, you are probably really confused! My name is Flat Stanley and this is my journal about my trip to Pennsylvania--not to be confused with Transylvania, although Pennsylvania is pretty awesome, too! By the time you read this, I will probably either be packed in a box traveling through the postal system the 2,250 miles back to Elk Grove, CA (it's cheaper than flying) or maybe I am already back at Markofer Elementary School. I sure hope so--it is hard to breathe in this envelope...
Either way, this is just a short story about one of my recent adventures and a few of the friends that I made along the way. Hope you enjoy it!
Your friend,
*Flat Stanley*
