Blogging is Easy!

A blog is pretty much like an electronic bulletin board where Messages are posted and comments can be made regarding the message.

In the past Lionel has just sent the Message to everybody, which has worked well. It is just as easy to continue to do that as it is to send an announcement that the message has been posted to the blog. However, the advantage of having the message on the blog is that it becomes a permanent record that we can access as needed. It also also allows comments to be made and retained for future reference.

In addition to having readily-accessible information on line, a blog also offers the advantage of posting photos and other lengthy messages without filling up people's email boxes.

Anyone at any time can comment on any Message.
