Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging

This weblog ("blog") is designed to be used by everyone involved with Harpsden Cricket Club. If you are writing the report for the Henley Standard, you can post it here too. If you have taken photos, you can post them here. If you want to respond to something that has been written, you can make a comment. It's very user-friendly, very easy to do. It's not just for looking at, it's interactive.

I'm also planning it as a cricket portal - the first place you'd look for ALL your cricket news. There are already links to the BBC cricket pages, to Aussie cricket, to a site which explains in detail how cricket works (mainly for me, but I daresay other people will find it useful). Let me know what other sites to add to the list.

There will also be links to other clubs, for directions, and I'll put those up as we go along.


HOW YOU CAN USE THE BLOG

Although I have set it up, it is in no way "mine". The idea is that everyone can join in - it's very simple to do, and doesn't need any computer expertise.

There are two basic ways to use this site:

1. The easiest way is to read other people's posts. Then, if you want to join in and make a comment, you click on the comment button at the bottom of the post, make your comment in the box, and then click publish. These can then be read by all those with access to the blog. It is a slo-mo conversation between all the blog users (in the way that email is a slo-mo conversation between two people).

2. The other way is to make a post yourself. If you would like to be able to do that, you will need to email me: joannacary@ukonline.co.uk This is because, at the moment, I am the "owner" of this blog. Once you sign up to make posts (I have to do a litle light clicking), you will become a co-owner. You can also post digital photographs direct, and it is an incredibly easy process - you click in just the same way as you would when you make an email attachment.


Blogger can be a little temperamental, and occasionally there are problems uploading, but it is generally reliable and easy to use. Any problems, email me and I'll try to help sort it out.
