I have added our standard navigation bar to both the Troop Blog and the SeaBlog.  This ought to make navigation from them easier.  If you have any problems with the navigation bar, let me know.

Good mourning, Troop 380 website visitors!  It's the webmaster.
I thought it would be a good idea to start off with my ideas about what this blog (see this post) may do for our Troop.  First of all, as webmaster, it will allow me to place website news in one centralized place where all visitors can access it.  Also, it will allow non-sensitive announcements and informational messages to be avalable to the public, so that Scouts and others from outside of our Troop can benefit from them and get a taste of the goings-on in our Troop.  Finally, Blogger's coment system will allow me to easily gather feedback from readers.

As for my anouncement, I wanted to let the Troop know that I created set of pages on our upcomeing trip to Sea Base in the members' area last night.  Suggestions are encourages, and make shure to check out the protected SeaBlog!

Scouts and Scouters:

I have created a Blog for the Troop.  It can be found either at http://bsatroop380.blogspot.com or through the web page navigation bar.  If you don't know what a blog is, this Wickipedia article explains it rather well:

"A blog is a website in which journal entries are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging". Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts" or "entries". A person who posts these entries is called a "blogger". A blog comprises hypertext, images, and links (to other webpages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular "area of interest", such as Washington, D.C.'s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences..."

I will be e-mailing some of the leaders with posting information later today.

Other website issues:

•  I have fixed the missing pages in the member section, although the new log in system is still needed.  I am working to repair the original system, but I really can't say how long it will take.
• The navigation bar is starting to look a bit long, especially now that the blog has been added.  If anyone has trouble viewing it all, please tell me and I will look at re-arranging it.
• Also about the navigation bar, the addition of the Blog entry would fall under the category of major change.  As such, it is possible that the navigation bar may display weirdly for some people.  If it happens, tell me (browser, operating system, and other pertinent information would also be appreciated), and I'll fix it.
  

This is a test post as the Troop in general. You can ignore it, too.

"To see the world in a grain of sand,
All heaven in a wild flower,
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
Eternity in an hour."

If this works, there will be no more test posts.
This is the end of the post.

This is a test post.  You are welcome to ignore it.

From this world-wearied flesh.  Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace!  And lips, oh you doors of breath..."
