The sailFar Blogs thread

[CapnK]

Bob - I'll be glad to, & will have you set up and ready next week, latest. Looking at the blog page, I realized that I never finished configuring the blogs properly (Doh! Darn that ADHD of mine! ). The current link points to a WordPress install, and there's another install of b2evolution that is what I'd wanted to use instead, but which isn't ready to go just now. Anyway - Working on that a bit this morning, waiting for the rain to stop.

I'm in the middle of a job re-rigging an Island Packet 38, and am shooting for having it done by Friday. So l might not have a lot of time before this weekend to delve into finishing up the setup on the software.

Unless it turns into solid raining today...  I don't fancy fumbling around aloft when things are all wet and slippery.

BobW: only thing to say...
pray for rain

LMAO Zen How true!

I have made progress, and stayed on it longer than I should have today. It's functional, just needs tweaking and testing. Once that's done, I'll move over the content on the old blog to the new one.

So, I've started a blog.  It ain't fancy, but hopefully it'll do what I want it to do.

Other than me cutting and pasting the URL, how does anyone get to it?

Bob - I'm still figuring out the config. Once I've got it right, we'll change the link at the top of the Forum here to point at it, and then it will be linked from the front page of the blog software.

[BobW]

Cool.  I guess I didn't think far enough ahead.

Hey, Bob, I just read your blog entry and it reads very good.  Coolness.   

[BobW]

Thanks John.   

Now I have to earn how to imbed text or a name in a link again.

Good show Bob, 
I'm still waiting,   

on the outside looking in for approval...


THe 3 bridge race should be fun, maybe I'll join also. Say wouldn't be great if we had SAILFAR burges to fly...

Almost there!

Patience, grasshopper! 

Zen and John are setup as administrators as well as bloggers, so when we get the details hammered out, we all will will be able to create users and blogs.

I think it will be ready to go fully live in another day - it's not the easiest software to figure out, it is feature- and option-rich, as well as being totally new to me, I've no prior experience with it.

[BobW]

Kurt,

I sure hope I didn't mess anything up by starting my blog!   

The software does seem to have a lot of features, so I was pretty pleased I was able to get it to work!

Zen,

SSS hasn't officially announced the date for the 3BF, but it has always been on the last Saturday of January.  SSS is trying to get over 300 boats signed up for the race and to the starting line.  If you can make it, you can be part of one of the - if not THE - largest racing event in the country.  It is a fun day.

A SailFar Burgee would be fun!
