Wanted: More Class Bloggers

February 25, 2008

Hello all-Just a quick note to report that eight class members are now set up to participate in our reunion blog. This is a good start and you’ll see that Barbie Kimberly joined us today. But if you look at the posts so far they are heavy on CWW reaching out. I want to hear/see more voices! If I can be of any help as you figure out how the site works, don’t hesitate to write me offline through email.
Please talk to other classmates and encourage them to sign up. I am truly hoping we can get some interesting discussion going as the weeks progress. More active participants will mean more lively conversations. I am hoping the blog can connect many of us virtually so once we get to campus, we can just keep those conversations going. There may even be some classmates who cannot join us for the reunion but who will participate virtually through this site.

New Contributors!

February 18, 2008

Hi All. Two new contributors from the class of 1968 have joined us: Lisa Goodridge and Joan Norris Daurio. Welcome classmates! Now that you are registered, I encourage you to log on and write a post. We want to hear from you in this space.

Other members of the class have written me but have not become active as yet. Please let me know if you want to join in the class conversation. Anyone in cyberspace can comment on these blog posts as you’ll see.  (There’s a clickable comment line at the end of every post.)

But only registered contributors can originate their own postings. Try it. If you have not done this before the only way to learn this form of social networking in cyberspace is to write an entry and publish it. Then wait to see whether someone comments on what you have written. If not, try another subject. And experiment with tags before you publish, if you care to. You’ll see the tags on the right…I have set up about ten of them so far. You can add additional tags when you bring up a new subject. Just type the category in the category box and click add. Then in future posts if you are developing a thought about that same subject, before you post you can check the box.

Spiders in search engines may find our tags and our blog may come up in someone’s web search. Some of this won’t matter, but wouldn’t it be neat if some other women’s college class of 1968 was also having a reunion and wanted to network with us? It would be a great example of the positive connecting power of the Internet.
