My Soaring Blog

[Reed von Gal]

Hey everyone,

I just started my soaring blog on the SSA website. I am learning to
fly cross country out of Boulder, CO with the SSB, and will use this
space to talk about my adventures, flights, and what I've been
learning. I will be flying at Region 9 with our contest mentor
program, and a lot of the content will have to do with this as well.

Take care,

Reed

Out of curiousity, I went to the SSA website and used the member
locator to find your 'home page'. The blog reports "No current
Ariticles"

Should be there. Just had a look and found it no problem.

Reed, et al,

If you have posted something to your blog, you probably have left the
draft box checked at the bottom of the composition window. It's
checked by default. This gives the blogger a chance to proof it before
posting online. Go back and edit your post and uncheck the draft box
before saving. Then it will be shared.

Gentlemen,

Problem is now fixed. Kind of a tricky spot to put that draft button.
Once things get going I will definitely post on the Cafe. Great site!

Hello Reed,
I left a 'comment' on your Blog, mostly just to ops check that
function. I still had to use the member locator to find your blog.
I'm not sure how the blogs make their way to the 'Member Blogs' page,
but it is apparently not instant or automatic.

Interestingly, I did that first, and didn't find Reed's blog. Then I
navigated to his page via the member locator, left a comment on his
blog, then exited. A few minutes later I revisited the SSA.org site,
went to News and Information, then member blogs, and there it was!
Magic.
