Introductory Sample
(This entry will be removed after the Right Angle Club's Blog is established.)
Read-Only.
"Blog" is a slang term for Web Log. This one can be found on the Internet by typing in its name, which is: www.rightangleclub.blogspot.com (you better write that down, or enter it in your "favorites" file.
In this form, it is "read-only". You can also reach it by double-clicking the "link" , which is any words at all, signaled by being in a different colored type , underlined. Anybody in the whole world can read this blog, either by double-clicking a link, or by entering its full name in the space provided on your browser. We can change that later, if we need privacy.
Read and Write.
The corresponding secretary of the club, or some other person who has been given the secret password, can change or add to the Blog, by going to the (now Google-owned) website called www.Blogger.com. That won't do you much good, unless you know the password, however. As time goes by, more and more people will learn the password, and eventually some kid in Bulgaria will intrude into our space. At that point, we will have to get more vigorous about protection, but at the moment we are simply lost in a universe of 12 million blogs, where it is unlikely we will be discovered by chance for quite some time.
Comments.
There's one exception. Blogger allows you to check yes or no on permitting readers to send back comments to the "blog-master". We checked "yes", and (at the moment) welcome comments from the audience. However, we can check "no" at any moment, so watch your language. Although, come to think of it, most bloggers are about twenty years old, and you ought to see the language they use, and even the candid photos they sometimes include. Try clicking on the word "comment" at the bottom of the page.
Contents -- are up to you.
We're thinking of announcements, schedules, membership lists, programs, club history, minutes of the meetings -- or what you will. Comments, anyone?

Don't forget to call Lake Mohonk Mountain House immediately for a reservation October 14-15. If you don't know where that is or what that is, ask one of us who have been there.
