Searching The Blog

Knowing how to quickly find something in a previous article is a skill worth learning. The easiest way I know is to use the SEARCH BLOG feature shown at the top left of the Blog page. For example, if you want to quickly find all articles that mention a specific person just click your mouse in the white search box, type that person's first name, and press the Enter key on your keyboard. The search results will display all articles in the Blog containing the name you typed. If you are searching for something other than a name you will need to choose a search term for what you are trying to find. For example, you could search on "reunion" and find all the blog articles containing that term. If you don't get any results from your search it means the search term you used wasn't in any of the articles. Choose another search term and try again. As you do searches you will learn from experience what type search terms work best.

Don't be afraid you'll "break something" by doing a search. Nothing you do will cause any harm to the Blog articles. And once you get the hang of it, searching can really save you time in finding what you are looking for.

And Now On With The Show

All to soon the Christmas and the New Year holidays have come and gone. I hope you enjoyed these special days with your family and friends.

As you can probably tell I have restored the Blog webpage to its normal appearance. I saved the Christmas/New Year greeting information, but won't be linking to it because of its seasonal nature. I hope everyone who read the Christmas/New Years greetings enjoyed them. My thanks to everyone who sent along their greetings. Thanks also to whoever it was that suggested we do that. I still don't recall who that was.

If you have any class related news, comments, etc. you want me to post on our Regular Blog page please send that info to me in an email. I'll get it posted just as soon as I can.
