Important Information

1: Label your posts!
Label them with the story name and category.
i.e., "The Legends of Arvania Main Story" or "Rusty's Hammer Plot Discussion" or "Great Guru Bash Backstory"

2: Reverse date your posts!!
If the latest post in the story was (like this one) posted on June 27th, 2009, publish your new post, then go back and edit it, and go to "post options" and re-date it as the year before. To keep a little order, it would be best to leave the Month and Day unchanged. In this case, you would change the date to June 27, 2008, and if you have a brilliant mind, and can type fast enough to post another one tomorrow, it should be dated June 28th, 2007.

This is so that the chronology of stories works out in each particular label. Don't necessarily worry about being accurate between different stories, but make sure that each one reads chronologically correct in its own label page.

(I just realized how utterly incomprehensible that was... allow me to explain... no, there is no time... Let me sum up. Each story, if guideline number 1 is followed, should have its constituent parts all labeled the same. By clicking on the label link on the main page of the blog (there will also be links to each story on the welcome page), one can get to a page where all of the posts in that particular story are lined up, in chronological order, latest first, oldest last. By reversing the dates, we will switch their order, which will consequently make the story easier to read.)

Comment about further difficulties or problems, and the all-powerful admin will advise :-)
