The Official Blog of Blogland Lane!

Okay! Thanks to Debra Kay, Blogland Lane

now has a blog of its own:

http://bloglandlane.blogspot.com/

.

Here's how it will work:

.

1. Send an email to Debra Kay at blogland.lane@sbcglobal.net. Send your email from whatever email account you want to use to access Blogland Lane.

.

2. You'll get an email back inviting you to be an author on the Blogland Lane blog, which means you will be able to either make your own posts there, or come in and set up links to your own blog.

.

This is step one. Let's see if it allows and encourages us to visit and share the way we hope.

.

For the time being, I will be responsible for the header and editing anything that may need editing (doubtful, but since this is a community where kindness rules, I''ll editing anything that obviously offends). I don't know if I am going to officially be the first mayor of Blogland Lane, but I do know that it's initially important for one person, or a few people, to set things up. So I''ll try my best to do that for the time being.

.

I am not proficient in setting this all up: thank God for Debra Kay--but maybe announcements and invitations can also be posted on the sidebar?

.

Last, I don't like rules, but here are a couple that seem important:

.

1. Our posts on our new blog should mostly be about Blogland Lane: connections, parties, events, renovations, support, recognitions, shops and services, silly ideas, etc. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't share something, anything, that you think is worth sharing. But let's try not to clog up our shared blog with posts that probably are better suited for our individual blogs.

.

2. We can only handle 100 "authors" on our new blog. That is a system limitation. Still, I'm not crazy about exclusion. Is everybody okay with at least initially limiting the neighborhood to 1oo? (I haven't officially counted, but I don't think we're close to the limit yet). This means we limit the amount of people who can actually post: not the amount of visitors or comments or even residents, for that matter. If this doesn't sit well with you, please say so.

.

3. How about reposting a picture of your place on our shared blog? I'll try to write up a list everyone who's moved in (within the next few days) (thank God I'm on vacation and have the time!) but the visual of everyone's house would be nice.

.

4. Kindness, courtesy, respect, diversity, fun, creativity, sharing, learning, and double fun ad double kindness. Let this be our constitution.

.

Okaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!
