Thanks all for taking cards last evening! I see several sign-ups already, so the ball is rolling.It might not be obvious how to post here. I’ve added a “Welcome” message at the top of the page, and will add these points:
- A blog works well when several (even many) people contribute. I am hosting the blog, but I don’t expect to be writing all the posts.
- When you log in to this blog, you will see something called the Dashboard. This area shows general information about the blog. Clicking on the various links under the dark blue bar will take you to the screen where you can write your own posts.
- The user profile is important. If I know who you are (not always obvious from your email address), I’ll give your account writing privileges more quickly. (People who register on the blog start out with the privilege to read what’s there–essentially the same as not registering. I add writing privileges for GMC family.
- Someone asked me last evening if family and friends could also register on the blog. Of course!
Remember that you can always ask me questions if you’re having trouble with getting the blog working for yourself. Send me an email.

Thanks, Matt, for setting up this site. It’s a real service to GMC members, their families & friends and may even save us sending postcards!!

Thanks, Joanne, my pleasure!
Hoping that many of us will feel brave enough to post articles here over the life of the tour.

Bravo, Matt! For a quiet tenor, this is quite a contribution and much appreciated. It also serves to introduce me to the quaint art of blogging. I think I just wrote a post, but am not certain. Thanks a million for getting this going.

Thank you, Joyce! You actually wrote both a post and a comment! You’re now officially a blogger.
