New to blogs? It's easier than you may think. Here's a guide to using the MBCA blog.
This blog follows a standard format. Posts are in descending chronological order, meaning the newest post is at the top, and as you scroll down you will find older and older posts. You can keep up on the news by scanning the first several posts every day or each week.
The posts are also ordered by Category. If you're interested in a specific topic you can find all the posts connected with that topic collected together under a Category label. You'll find the Category labels for each post listed at the bottom of the post.
You'll also find a list of the Categories in the sidebar. If you're interested in, say, Twentynine Palms, look in the sidebar at the Category list and click on "Twentynine Palms." That will bring up all the posts that have been labeled "Twentynine Palms."
Want to get the news without coming to this site? You can subscribe to an Atom feed that allows you to automatically receive our posts in a Reader. Learn more here.
In the sidebar are also lists of Organizations that might interest our viewers. There is a Blogroll, as well, with links to other blogs.
Finally, at the top of the sidebar you'll find links to the MBCA Website, including to our Calendar and our Home, Meeting, Join, and Contact pages. And if you want to cut right to the chase, click on the Alerts! link for the latest important action that needs your attention.
Special note: We have many links on our blog to articles in the Hi-Desert Star. In December 2008 the Star began charging for access to archived articles. We will be adjusting our approach to referencing Star articles in the future and apologize for any inconvenience this causes readers of our past posts.
We hope you enjoy the MBCA blog. Please feel free to send us items you'd like us to consider posting. Thanks!
