Member Blogs

An Explanation of Member Blogs

Submitted by jack sprat on 15 August, 2008 - 11:00.

Greypath members can write personal blog entries (web logs) that are stored in the Greypath databases.

When you are logged in as a member you can view all your blog entries by clicking the "my blog" item in the left hand menu. Other members are also able to view your entries using links from various parts of the Greypath website. For example, if you post an entry to the "Bookworm" part of the site, (see under the top of home page, FORUM tab), at the bottom of your posting will be a link to your blog and all its entries.

At present, your blog entries can be put into one of four categories: the default is "<none>", then there is "General", "Bugle Blog" and "The Bookworm". You select the appropriate category when writing a blog entry.

Which category should you use?

Select "General" if you do not want your blog entry to go into either the "Bugle Blog" or the "Bookworm". Other members will be able to see your blog entry (and other members' blog entries) if they click the "Members Blogs" item in the left navigation menu.

Select "Bugle Blog" is your blog entry is about an interesting incident that happened during your day - something that other Greypath members would find interesting.

Select "The Bookworm" for entries about books.

You can leave the category as "<none>" if you like - there are no menu items that point to such entries but other members _can_ link to them from the "Bugle Blog" or "The Bookworm" pages.

Here are links to the pages for categorised blog entries:

The Bugle Blog

The Bookworm

You can comment on other members' blogs, and they can comment on yours. Good comments are a way to enliven the site and get to know other people better.

We have all been on our L's just be patient.

Submitted by lani on 5 September, 2008 - 15:30.

I  am  a new member to this site & also relatively foreign when it comes to chat rooms. my computer is rather ancient,it was given 2 me by my daughter  recently to put it in a nut shell i'm unfamiliar with the entire system. However when i decided to join in at Megs coffee shop i was taken back at one females response being i should  know the way it operates ~be faster in my responses ~know not to use capital & so on & so on. And yes i did make it known 2 her i was new to all this & the typing also. So when a person is battling with something  new   PLEASE  'DONT" try an intimidatate them  ~as you know  this will cause some of us to defend ourselves & therefore the situation becomes  ugly so do keep this in mind TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE to be treated instead of getting there back up.   Thankyou Lani

As Terry Pratchett would have it

I aitn't dead yet!

This is my second attempt to make this observation — I have been travelling and doing a variety of other writerly things, so that there are now three books lined up in the warehouses or on the presses.

It adds up to my having been distracted, but I am back on deck, and normal service will be resumed shortly.

A new short story about oldies

Submitted by Muffin on 3 September, 2008 - 10:17.

 

I thought GreyPath members may be interested in my newest short fiction story about a senior couple and what can happen when one is outgoing and gregarious to the point where the other becomes very lonely. Have a look at my blog Journeys in Creative Writing

My new post in my blog for seniors 70 Plus and Still Kicking carries some pictures of the stunning hedge of Michelia trees in my garden.  They're a cousin to the magnificent Magnolia species and in full flight at the moment with thousands of creamy cup shaped flowers on board.  Visit 70 Plus and Still Kicking for a quick peek.

I'd really like to know what you think.  It would be great if you would leave a message by clicking on 'comments' on the link below the posts. 

Happy day

June Saville (Muffin)
