Is My New Dog More Interesting than You?

OK, so here is were we stand (lie?) with this blog (dog?).  Only 4 people have posted anything in the past several months.  There have been few, if any, comments on the posts so there is no evidence that we have readers.

I can only conclude that we have hit the downward spiral that comes from having no one post things of compelling interest to other readers.  So apparently very few people are coming here to check out the blog as there is very little to read.  And new articles are few and far between.

That brings me to two important questions.  1. Is there still enough interest to keep this site going? If so, please let me know with your comment, however brief.   2. Are you interested enough to sit down and write a little (or a lot) about your experiences growing up in Cedar Vale and/or your life since?  

* Hint: You can always send your article to me via e-mail and even attach a picture or two.  I will be glad to post the article(s) for you.

Thanks,

We have one vote via e-mail for continuing the site....and a promise to post some articles if others will do the same.

To post a comment do the following:
1. Click on the Title of the Article (posting)
2. The title will change from blue to black; then scroll to the bottom of the article
3. There will now be a link; "Post a Comment"....click on it
4. Type your comments into the box that appears & scroll to the bottom
5. Choose an Identity ... 'anonymous' if you are not logged in
6. Click "Publish Your Comment"
** Note: Your comment will NOT appear immediately. It could be a few hours before one of our CV Memories moderators approves the posting. Unfortunately most comments are spam from outside of our group.

That is a very fine-looking dog, but I do hope you will keep the blog going. I will try to add some information on my family.
Is it possible to post an article directly, with you screening it as you screen comments before it actually appears? If so, could you give step-by-step directions on how to do that?
Incidentally, it would be nice to get on the blog a class-by-class listing of the people who are coming to the alumni banquet this year, but I don't know quite how to get that accomplished.

Thank you, and continuing thanks for the blog
