Houston, We Have Lift-off!

February 17, 2008

Welcome everyone and we do mean everyone!

You’ve safely arrived at the new digs of SisterFriends Together, a new day and direction in the life of christianlesbians.com. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the world of blogging then give me a couple paragraphs to pass along some basic info before you wander off on your own and get into all kinds of trouble. I know the bright shiny objects are tempting but stay with me you adorable little Blog Babies!

This little blimp of text is called a blog entry. When a new entry is posted it will go right here and then move down the page as newer entries are added. To keep up on new content, you can either come back here every couple days for a look-see or you can subscribe to the RSS feed or request that new content be emailed to you. Subscription links to both of these are at the top of the far right hand column.

Across the top of the page under the masthead (also known as the narrow pretty picture) is the Navigation Bar. The links on the navigation bar provide basic content to SisterFriends Together. Categories in the nearest right hand column is like the table of contents for the blog and is how all entries are listed by general topics. Clicking on any category heading will make all the relevant entries with abbreviated content appear and if one of those grabs your interest just click on the entry title and the entire post will appear. As of this entry most of the entries are content that was transferred over here from christianlesbians.com and to keep them separate from new content I’ve listed them under January 2006 in the Archives. Anything appearing after January 2006 is either new content or old content that’s gone through major revisions.

The last thing I want to introduce to you Blog Babies is the Comment feature. If you look at the bottom of each entry you’ll see a narrow box that lists the categories the entry is under and a comments link. Click that link and a comment box will open up where you can add your witty and brilliantly insightful thoughts. One of the reasons we went to a blog format is that the old website format was too one-sided and passive. In other words, I’d talk and you’d listen. Class dismissed. With this blog format myself or a guest blogger will get the topic started and then anyone else can jump in and add their own thoughts and that’s where the real conversation and interaction begins! Please be aware that all comments will be held for approval before posting to avoid SPAM and creeps (in no particular order) and all comments will be viewable to any and all who stop by so consider that if anonymity is a concern for you.

Okay, I’m done. Now go look around and let me know what you think.
