More Authors Needed September 23, 2007
Posted by Diane Bird in : All Posts , trackbackOur blog is “growing like Topsy”, which is fun because it shows how one thought generates another, and off we go on another interesting tangent. It’s good that the right hand column alerts us to new Posts as well as new Comments, so we don’t miss anything. However, if you are beginning to wonder why the same few seem to be writing all the “Posts”, it is because they are “Authors” (and we’re getting lonely!).
An author can originate a “Post” upon which others (author or not) can add a “Comment”. A “Post” generally suggests a new idea or a different timeline or a different story that the author thinks others might be interested in adding to with commentary. Example: the story about the teachers staying with the Magnuson family on the farm could generate lots of new memories about winter on the farm, or about teachers in general, or about schooling in those days. Becoming an “author” on this blog is as simple as getting in touch with Marty at birdmd@gmail.com. Join us!

To add to your point “It’s good that the right hand column alerts us to new Posts as well as new Comments, so we don’t miss anything.”
You can get an email when a new Post has been added by clicking “Subscribe via email” at the top of the right column. Any new posts, you’ll be notified via email. What could be easier? Well . . .
You can subscribe to Comments as well. At the end of a post, see the “Subscribe without commenting” section and any time a new comment is added to that Post, you’ll be notified. If you are the one commenting, simply check the box “subscribe” under your comment and you’ll get the notification.
