I wanted to make a few comments about the blogger application because I have been finding unpublished posts in the queue. When you're done composing, you can hit the 'post' button to see what your text will look like in the blog. It appears in the screen below the editing screen. You can select [edit] to make a change to what you've written. After you are satisfied, hit the 'publish' which is an orange button over on the right to move it over to the website. You'll still be able to go back at any time and re-edit an old posting. Also, as the blogger file accumulates more postings, you'll notice it only displays the last 20 comments, but there's a way of looking at all the postings by selecting the 'Archives' link near the bottom. You can even read the old stuff when I was only writing to myself .

Another thing I wanted to mention was that the song list I posted the other day which made Ann Marie cringe had much the same effect on me! It was just a 'cut and paste' from a Billboard chart. There was a lot of good music in the years we attended O'Reilly as the list that Ann Marie put together demonstrates. I'd like to make up a custom CD for the reunion attendees with about 20 songs from our high school years. But who will decide what to put on it? I started a poll to collect the votes from anyone who visits the website and I will use the information to select the top 20, put them on a CD, and then give them away like party favors at the reunion. I have a way to make sure no ballot stuffing occurs and everyone can participate in the creation of a custom CD.
