Blog Orientation

Greetings parents and members!

This post will explain the stuff that makes this blog "hi-tech". I didn't have sufficient time to explain in during the meeting... :/

Anyways, here we go...

The blog contains various parts and sections; each contributing for presentation and documentation.

1. Introductory and Title Section (Heading)

This section contains the group's name, and a short introductory statement, which summarizes our motives and goals.

2. Body Section

This section is where all the blog posts go in. The posts are arranged from the "lastest" post down to older posts. (Ain't it FINE?! ;D)

3. Author's Section

This is where the names of our members are listed. These names are specific links to their profile. (I specifically told them NOT to put any "personal" information in their profile, its for security purposes)

4. Reminder Section (Powered by 30boxes.com)

This contains important dates for our members. For example, birthdays, upcoming events, etc.
Special thanks to 30boxes! =D

5. Resource Area

This contains a list of different links that could be fairly useful for the group's activities/research.
Special thanks to the websites I linked! ;D

6. Blog Archive

This organizes the different posts according to the month a certain post has been posted.

7. Labels Section

This is an even better organizer! For instance, you were looking for a post... the labels section can help you out because each post is tagged with a specific "topic" such as "suggestions". (Again, I strongly advice all members to TAG their posts! >=D)

8. Chatbox (Powered by Shoutmix)

This is like a built-in MSN in our blog, except you have to refresh each time you talk if you want to see what the other person said... -_-. Anyone can use this feature to chat. (assuming your msn is not working ;D) This seems a very good and private feature... sadly, its not. The chatbox is probably contains the most potential danger in the blog. Dangers, meaning, spammers, evil people who links bad stuff on text, etc. This doesn't mean you dont wanna use the chatbox. As a group coordinator, I watch this blog as often as possible. Any spam or bad links can easily be removed.

9. Song of the Day (Powered by imeem.com)

This is one of my favourites. This basically gives life to the blog by playing some worship songs while you surf around. The songs are changed every 24 hours (starting at 7pm). You can turn it off by clicking "pause" in the section. Special thanks to those who uploaded the songs to Imeem!! =D

10. Visits Section (Powered by ClusterMaps)

This tracks anyone who visits this blog. Don't worry, it just "tracks", not "hacks". This is a potential "bragging section" by showing visitors how much people visited/viewed your blog. Basically, Manitoba has the most visits. (You know why... ;D)

11. Copyright Section (Bottom; Powered by Creative Commons)

Finally, the copyright section. This is the most serious part of the blog. Our blog is basically "copyrighted". Meaning, whatever we post is "OURS". Anyone who attemps to copy our stuff will cause a major offense. (believe me... its not gonna be nice =D) Special thanks to the "Creative Commons Attribution of Canada License"

That's all I have to share with you guys about the blog. You have any questions, ask away! ;D
