Blogging Class
Most of you have probably already seen the announcement in the letter I sent out to the entire WCA, but I am going to give a blog and internet class on Saturday July 12th at 11:00 am in the Phoenicia Library. First, for those without internet in their home I will briefly demonstrate how to get on the Woodland Valley View site from the library. Then I will show you how I access the WV blog and write posts. I will even show you how to start your own blog if you feel so inclined. I will also try and answer any other internet questions you might have. The class is free. So, for those of you who wonder how the heck I keep this site, this is your chance to find out. You don't have to have a lot of internet or website experience to understand what I will be showing you. It is actually very simple to put things up on a blog. Similar to writing an email. So if you have any interest in blogging or if you have any questions about the internet in general please come and join me. See you there!

Guidelines
This site is a community newsletter. All posts should contain information about valley people, places, and events. Let's get to know the folks in our community better.
All posts will be by and about WCA members. (Note: I will make an exception and post messages from nonmembers if the item is about Woodland Valley.)
Keep things brief. If posts are too long they will be edited. Only one or two photos or pieces of artwork per post.
All posts must be G rated including any website links. This is a family site. Let's make it so even the kiddies can read it. Anything questionable will be reviewed by the WCA blog committee. The decision of the committee is final.
The WCA supports diversity, tolerance and mutual respect. Nothing of a racist, sexist, intolerant or derogatory nature will be posted.
No politics. Except for informational things like caucus times and dates, voting reminders and election results, nothing else of a political nature will be posted. Since our membership has diverse political views this could only spoil the fun.
This site is maintained on a volunteer basis. We will try our best, but there is no guarantee that everything will get posted. Posts will be made on a first come first serve basis.
No prices given. If some of our members have a store, give classes, provide services we will post the what, where, when of it but we will not give costs.
Everyone's privacy will be respected. No email address will be given without the express permission of the owner of that email account.
All photos must be digital. Don't try and slip me your 4x6 prints at the Boiceville Supermarket. Scanning is a time consuming process and needs to be done by the member who wants to post the photo. Copyright laws will be respected. No photos containing children will be posted without a direct email from their parents giving us permission to put their child's photo on the site.
Sorry if these guidelines sound a bit stern. Now that we have laid out the ground rules I promise we'll have some fun!
