Blog Update! by Robyn

So, the Blog is no longer on "private" status. This means we don't have to invite you on as readers in order for you to access it. This decision was made after struggling to make the Blog both accessible and private (we should have known! haha); it just doesn't look like that is going to happen. Now you can check out the blog whenever you'd like, regardless of whether or not you have a Google account.

You can now subscribe to the Blog's RSS feed. This means you can be updated whenever a new entry is posted. If you'd like to do this, please take the following steps:
1. Click on "Posts" in the "Subscribe To" Box on the sidebar (right-hand side) of the blog.
2. If you use Google Reader, or My Yahoo, or one of the other RSS reader options, click its box and you'll get set up. If you do NOT use these, click on "Atom" at the bottom of the list. This will give you the option of making the Blog a "Live Bookmark," which means it will appear on your browser's toolbar and when you click on it, you'll get a drop down menu of all the posts.

Yikes, this probably sounds really complicated. If you don't want to do all this, I'd recommend bookmarking the Blog and checking it whenever you think to. If folks are still confused/frustrated by this Blogging business, I'm hoping we can dedicate some time to it during the next meeting.

Not everyone can make blog posts, but everyone can make comments to Blog posts. Please do so! If you scroll down a bit, you'll see that posts have been made on Community Mapping and on Groups and Committees.

Once again, if you have questions, please email me: robynletson@gmail.com and I'll do my best to help you.
