Greetings!

This new "blog" is just an experiment and a totally new experience for me and probably you, too!

I thought it might be a good way for '59 committee members to stay in touch with each other and/or with other classmates by invitation. It could be a forum where you can share messages, ideas, pictures, notes, or whatever.

This is similar to a message board, and is not meant to take the place of a website at all. Posting is supposed to be as easy as sending an email, so several might contribute postings without relying on one person to do it all.

Who can comment on the postings? You set it up to your preference.... It can be open to anyone, registered users, or only members of the blog. It's your choice.


I'm new to blogging and feeling my way along by reading the help sections provided. There was an introductory presentation at the last QC Computer Society meeting and there may be some follow-up lessons provided there for people that want to get started. I started this site as a trial and have been learning the ropes slowly on my own.

If they start some "Blogging 101" classes at the computer club, I will have plenty of questions. Maybe some of the rest of you might like to join the group. Blogging is an easy way to start your own personal website for family and friends.

What do you think? Will this one serve a purpose for the '59 alumni group? Vicki W

To leave a comment, you need to sign up for an account with an email address, password, and display name.

You must also verify the word they provide. This eliminates some automated sign-ups by web robots.

I'm signing in as a different user to try out making a comment.

I think it looks like great fun and I didn't think I would do it. Thanks Vickie, Mouse

Vickie,
What a great idea - in fact I am going to start one for my class. When I tried to set it up - the word they provide are extremely hard to make out exactly what the letters are and it took 5 tries before I could read the letters????? Anyway congratulations on a great idea!
