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

FROG's Pre-KickOff

Ahoy everyone! Now that we have completed our "tell yo folks" phase. We're are now ready to present these ideas to the Christian Education. After that, we have to inform Pastor about everything as well. That's where our handy-dandy blog kicks in. As soon as everyone else is informed, and they have approved our future actions. It's time to RIDE! =D

This Week ..

Heyyo.. this is Jordan here to uhmmm .. yeah here's the summary of the meeting today, Sunday, February 10, 2008 at Filipino Evangelical Church.

This week at our meeting, we dragged our parents along with us just so they know what's going on with our group. We informed them about our activity/fellowship (lol longfellow deeds) plans.

We will alternate between an activity and a longfellow-ship (lol) every month. They will probably be on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We will also do a fundraiser once every 2 months. For example, in the summer we might have a bake sale or a homemade lemonade stand.

Auntie Cora volunteered said we could use her house for our longfellow-ship at her house for March.
We will schedule the other months soon.

There will be a Junior Church Service downstairs for the kids every 2nd or 3rd Sunday of the month. It's like a normal church service except reformatted for the children... longfellow deeds.

If you have any suggestions for activites, questions, or you're looking for a new man<3>(;P), you can contact our group leader, JB.

PLEASE READ: End of Winter Activities

Hey guys! Remember I told you that we can barely do some outdoor stuff cuz its dead freezing? Well, I came up with our first 2 activies. From your suggestion, I took going to someone's house, and the laser tag thingy.

First off... We're gonna start off with something easy... going to someone's house is uber easy. All we do is decide which house, ask the owner of that house if we could have a little fellowship/chillage; of course, we wont forget a little devotional.

This is good for a Saturday, but we have to decide WHEN ASAP because my work needs to be 2 weeks ahead before I ask for a day off. So, comment on this post as soon as you can.

Second thing, the Laser Tag. I know its the very first suggestion you guys gave out. So, I've been looking around Winnipeg for a laser tag place. So far, I found a place called "DarkZone". It's located at Osborne-Pembina. For sure, transportation is not a problem cuz I know where it is. Its sorta far for some of you, but if you guys really want to, I'll call the place get some details if we could book off a private blasting time. ;D (I know you want it...)

I would also like to suggest if we could have fund raisers every 2 activies. So we wont be draining your parent's money or your allowance. The first fund raiser I have in mind is... a Bake sale or Mark's idea: A Lemonade stand. In the future, I would also like to have "plays" or some other types of presentation that would be interesting, such as Band Concerts (assuming you guys are masters of your instruments, we'll get to that ;D)

So basically, I need your comments if you agree. The next step is figuring out the details of our activities. Discuss it with your folks after I give out the details. Then, our Contact Coordinator will call each and one of you if they agreed or disagreed. Be prepared to give a reason, I might be able to persuade them if they said "No".

End-of-Year Video Presentation

Heya everyone! My brain just hatched an idea. I was thinking... what if we could make a video presentation of our future activities... I think it would blow people's mind! XD

If we all agree on this, I need a new officer from you guys... the FlickMaster.

The FlickMaster's job is simply to take pictures, recordings, podcasts, etc; each time we have an activity. Then, at the end of the year, he/she will put this all together and make an outstanding, crowd-pleasing Event Video! (P.S. Powerpoint is wayyyy too old school)

And also, I would suggest some comedy within the video, like funny pictures, weirdness, etc.

Just nominate someone you have in mind on the comments. Then we'll vote when we meet personally.

Personally, I already have someone in mind... He makes excellent videos and amazing effects with just Windows Movie Editor... I don't know if you know who I am talking about... ;D

Oh this is gonna be great!!! =D (Lol.. i have wayyy too much ideas... idk where i get these... xP)

Thanks guys!
Jib
