Default Need help w/ Bleeding Brakes

What's the procedure for bleeding brakes and MC for a 1998 Blazer 4WD? I think my partner in crime let the MC run low when bleeding it and introduced air. I thought we had the correct procedure, but now I'm not so sure - after lots of work trying to bleed air out of the MC, the brake pedal is still mushy when testing.

Help!

start with the furthist wheel away from master, Pass. rear, then the next closest, driver rear, then the next, pass. fron, then the driver front. keep checking the master af the fluid level and fill it up as needed

Thanks! (I found one of Kyle's posts for dealing with the MC elsewhere, but it seems like the same procedure works just fine.) The Blazer brakes fine after a test drive now.
