Welcome to the Blog

Hello to all S Durham U3A members. As you probably already know blogging is a fast growing way for people who have access to the internet to share their thoughts, fears and aspirations. More than that though the unique aspect of blogging is that other members of the blog can readily comment on the original post, leading to some very interesting and informative 'conversations'. Blogs enable people to share their experience, pass on tips, raise interesting questions, get something off their chest, make suggestions or just share their thoughts and feelings.
Once we get going the subject matter will become diverse but we can introduce categories to help you find the parts of the blog which interest you.
Everything is set up so that you do not need to be a computer guru to use it. Once you have joined the blog (details of how to do this will be given later) you can make a post or comment on a post as easily as sending an email. As you become more experienced you will be able to add pictures or include links to websites etc all with just a few clicks of a mouse.
I think it is very exciting that we all now have the opportunity to publish in this way and I hope that you will take this up and find it just as much fun as the millions of other bloggers around the world.
