Share Your Blog with the Class
Hi Personal Webpage Class,
This Week's Assignment
A reminder -- this week's assignment is to make one new post to your blog every day. If you can't do it every day, then make as many as you can.
For next week's class, it will be far more important to have real posts in your blog than to worry about how it looks. We'll be refining the appearance, features and experimenting with more advanced configurations next time.
Share Your Blog
I invite you to share your blog with the rest of the class using the Class Exchange blog as a venue. Just make a post with the title of your blog and (most importantly) your blog address, so we can all find it. Here's one I've seen already....
You can peek at Leigh's "Hiking the Colorado Trail" blog here:
http://hikingthecoloradotrail.blogspot.com/
Remember, to post to this class blog you must have accepted the author invitation I sent you. You can tell if you are an author or not by looking at: http://saddlebrookecc.blogspot.com/ to see if you name is listed in the left column under "Class Members". If it is not, I'm going to issue you another invitation that should follow in your email very soon after this email.
Looking forward to seeing your blogs next Thursday.

Hiking the Colorado Trail
It seems that about every 5 years I set a personal goal to achieve during my lifetime. 5 years ago it was to do a supported 5-day, 430+ mile bike ride through the mountains of Colorado ... a ride called "Ride the Rockies". I bought a new bike in November and really began training in earnest in February for the ride that took place the last week of June. Neither snow, rain, sleet, hail or even temperatures rising near 100 degrees could stop my son-in-law, brother-in-law and I from this trek. My husband, Richard, provided invaluable support, driving our motorhome to the next town and meeting us at the finish line each day.
Well...
it's time to set a new goal and this time it is to hike the Colorado Trail during the summer of 2010.
The Colorado Trail is Colorado’s premier long distance trail. Stretching almost 500 miles from Denver to Durango, it travels through the spectacular Colorado Rocky Mountains amongst peaks with lakes, creeks and diverse ecosystems. Trail guide books say that users experience six wilderness areas and eight mountain ranges topping out at 13,334 feet. I've hiked partial sections before, but this time I want to see the whole thing.
My blog will chronicle my preparation for this trip, as well as a daily journal of the trip itself. I plan to include discussions of hikes used during the prep stages, equipment being tried and ultimately used, meals & other topics regarding nutrition, and who knows what else.
I guess it is for this reason that my "handle" on this class website is known as Adventure_Grandma.

Be Safe, Work Hard, Have Fun, Make Fun
Hi There Everybody!
I'm sure this will be the best class I will take all year. When going thru the SBCC I noticed
'Personal Webpage' and said to myself, that sounds like fun. Now I'm going to do something I have always wanted to do.
There are three groups that I want to talk to. First, the employees of Shell Lubricants who worked with my son, John Craig. Tonight the annual John Craig Memorial Award was presented to an outstanding achiver for the year 2008 in San Antonio, Texas. I was invited, but could not go. Second, my Grand Children, on a weekly post. Third, other relatives and friends around the
country and world. Tomorrow should be a great class.
