Czernowitzers...
From time to time material has been rejected from the List as being
'off topic'. This of course was to keep the List discussions focused
on the intended target: 'Czernowitz/Bukovina Genealogy and History'.
In some instances the list software itself couldn't handle the
materials: HTML, photographs, music, and so on.
There were other instances where the discussions were very interesting
with lots of posts but were just too far off topic -- the discussions
around the Yiddish language come to mind. There are other examples.
So, in hope of giving voice to some of those subjects that are
necessarily excluded, we have cobbled together a Blog where such
subjects can be explored.
Right now on the Blog, there are a number of posts left in tact from
our testing phase, so you can see some of the possibilities. We had a
merry band of 'testers' posting stuff and trying to figure out how
things work technically. It looks like we're ready to go live, at
least with simple things.
We are starting in a format where neither the posts or comments are
moderated. Hopefully the Blog will for the most part, run itself
(except for technical maintenance). If that doesn't work, the comments
are easily screened for spam and/or nastiness. If things don't work
out, or there is lack of interest, we just shut it down -- it's really
just an experiment.
You can read the blog without logging in, just like any other website,
and you can comment on existing posts without logging in. But to
'post' (new topic or thread) you need to Register and get a password.
You will find a Navigation Bar on the right side of the page that
will allow you to register and/or log in. Also on the right hand side
of the page on the top, is a section called 'Pages' which is a series
of 'How to do it' instructions. Please read the first one 'Purpose of
this Blog', before trying anything else.
To get you started without difficulty, we put in a post in called
'Starting Up'. Here you can comment by just clicking on the 'number of
comments' at the bottom of the post. That way if you're having trouble
registering or logging in, you can still communicate.
If you want to give it a try, the Blog is at:
http://ehpes.com/blog1
or from the Menu on our home page (near the bottom)
Of course we will need content to make this caper successful -- but
that's your job!
Best from Bruce and Jerome
