Our Classmates want to know?

 

I know many of you are new to the idea of a Journal/Blog.......heck, I was unaware of it myself until my daughter introduced it to me last year or so. 

Prior to me exploring into Journal/Blogs, I guess I always felt it best to stick to my favorite genre of writing, my weekly Newsletters to my family and friends, because of the assumption that no other format will deliver the same satisfaction for me personally.  Then I realized, it was less work for my readers not having to download my Newsletters and I could add moving animations instead of just non animated clip arts.

A Blog is a Website, usually maintained by an individual which in this case would be (me) with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.

The important part of a Blog is the ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format.  So, don't confuse or compare a Blog with the same features that would be to a magazine subscription!  Participation is what a Blog is all about.  At the bottom of each entry you will see “Add Your Own”….click on that and leave your comment.  You can also view recent comments from others in the same location. Write down your password so you won’t forget it.  Better still, let the site save your password for you so you won't have to keep putting it in each time you want to leave a comment.

I hope all of the above makes sense to you now.

So, now with all that said:  I will begin again to welcome you all to this entry of The Lantern with some new suggestions that I was thrilled to receive from our classmates that emailed me via my suggestion box provided on the Lantern.  I'm excited that more of you are starting to participate.  Actually, I received six (6) suggestions and/or requests so I thought I would start with three (3) at a time and see how many of you respond……here goes:

1. List your best/worst teachers at RHS?

 

 

2.  List your remembrances of Revere Beach.  When people reminisce about Revere Beach it is not the sand and surf they remember most: It was the amusements, so was yours The Whip, the Ferris Wheel, the Fun House, Hurley's Dodgems, the Pit, Himalaya, Hippodrome, or the Virginia Reel or the biggest attraction, the Cyclone?  Did I miss any???

 

Maybe it was your favorite restaurant or was it that special first date and maybe you even married your first love????

 

3.  List foreign countries that you have traveled to and tell us about some of your experiences there.

 

You know the Rules...............Must leave at the bottom of the entry where it says "Add Your Own".  Also, take a peak at "Recent Comments" and see what others wrote.  Also, very important.....It has been brought to my attention and a request has been made to please leave your name at the bottom of your Comment.....not everyone knows your funkie unusual email address!  Thanks!  Have fun and browse through all the entries and comments made since inception (June, 2008).
