Hi All,

As a follow-up to this evening's meeting, I'm sending out a post to show you that we can ALL post on the blog.  I was surprised to hear that you all think that only a couple of people can do this.  I'll now send out an email to give you THE VERY SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THIS.  I'll even attach and photo just for fun and also tell you how to do this.
