Blogs are an important way to express and communicate with the internet visitor. It gives me a chance to let you know what my intention is, the vision for this group, and actually write some vignettes for you to read every now and then about dating and relationships. I feel it will have some value to certain people every now and then. Maybe you won't be interested in every post, but I'm sure that sooner or later there will be one that you appreciate.
Why don't I use the one from Myspace or Yahoo? Because I want a broader audience than those formats allow. The Myspace blog is a great place for me to post event information and updates for members. It allows you to see what is going on immediate. The Yahoo blog is not flexible enough for me to incorporate into our site. There is not enough customization or the ability to embed it on our pages.
I also have our Photobucket Album you can peruse to see what we have been up to. Again, I could use flikr with our Yahoo account, or the Myspace pics section, or the Yahoo group. The group is restricted to members, flikr is too basic, and Myspace is limited in space and scope. Photobucket gives us the flexibility for me to do what I need to, and reach out to you. It also lets me tag people, so you can see who is in the picture.
You can actually click on a name in the left column, and see all the pictures they appear in! btw, if you see yourself in a picture, and you are not "tagged" let me know which picture (copy the URL to me in email) and tell me what name you would like to appear. I didn't get to tag everyone.
Speaking of Photobucket, I have completed a remix of pics of our recent activities. I hope you will take a moment out of your day to view it by clicking here. I hope you enjoy the show. It features many things that we have done as a group. I will upload more video to that location, as well.
Of course, you know some of the things we have done, but let me review them here. The pictures show the singles mingles we had in Pismo Beach and Atascadero (I didn't take pics in Santa Maria), our Valentine's Dance, our trip to Solvang and to Piedras Blancas Lighthouse (for a docent led tour) with the elephant seals, Big Chill at the Grad, The Loading Dock, Montana de Oro for a hike up Valencia Peak and a docent led walk along the bluffs, lunch at the Olive Garden, a New Year's Party, FREE dance lessons for the Velvet Slide, Salsa, and West Coast Swing, and so much more stuff.
This has been a happy adventure for me, and I hope for you also. If you have just recently found us, I hope you will join us for as many activities as possible. I try to keep them affordable or FREE, as well as interesting and fun. The more events you go to, the more people you will meet. That is the goal of this group, as you will read in a subsequent blog.
For now, I have to stop because I don't want to get too wordy. I just hope you will visit often, and maybe even subscribe to our RSS feed to be sure you get the latest news from us. Thanks, and I hope to meet you soon1
