this is your blog


Computer Club Talks About this Blog

   The Computer Club of Rossmoor has had this blog for over a year and it has largely gone unnoticed. The club wonders why and looks to the readers (and, of course, to itself) for some answers.

   Easy access is available by placing an icon on the desktop in the following manner: Go to the desktop and right click; place the cursor on ‘New” > move it to “Shortcut” and left click > type in the Internet address appearing above > left click “Next” > type in “Computer Club Blog” and left click “Close”.

   One look at this blog will provide a visual description of what it is. This is a site where opinions can be expressed by anyone. It’s the club’s blog made available for freewheeling discussions, the posing of questions, readers’ comments and more.

   At this writing here is a list of the topics already posted: “Let’s Talk EBooks”; “Shopping Online”:”Winter Class Schedule”; “Honoring Our Volunteers”; “Computer Club Discusses Cookies”; and “Operating Room of the Future”. The latter topic is a fascinating short video of the future of medicine with the help of technology as described by an Israeli firm.

   Future postings will include a list of helpful websites. For example, wouldn’t it be helpful to everyone to post the location of the lowest gasoline prices in various areas? Expect, too, to find the club’s article on personal computers found weekly in the Rossmoor News. There is one coming soon discussing a person’s “Digital Estate”.

   Jan Barnes created the blog and also manages it. Jan wants people to feel welcome to offer any suggestions by e-mailing her at janmbar@comcast.net.

   The club looks at its blog as a special place to discuss and even present information. Have a question? Ask it on the blog. Found a site that could be of particular interest? Post it on the blog.

   Be proactive in a club working hard to help everyone, member or not, enjoy the journey of computer literacy.
