Blog Update: Maps and Settings

Greetings, Shore Things,

Google Groups has approved our group, so you should now be able to receive email messages straight from our blog. If you visit our Google Groups site, you will be able to create your own personal profile, indicating how frequently you prefer to receive blog updates by email -- if at all. (You might not get through to set your preferences right away as we're such a new group. Try again in a little while.) To create your profile and set your settings, visit:

http://groups.google.ca/group/shorethings?hl=en

It will likely prompt you to sign in by giving your email address and creating a password for yourself first.

Note that the address above is *not* our blog address, it's only the address for our mailing list group. Don't be confused when you see copies of the blog posts listed there.

Those who are RSS-savvy (you'll know what this next bit means if you are) have the option to subscribe to the blog as an RSS feed. Or, you can simply bookmark the blog site and check in periodically via web. So, lots of options.

The blog now also includes links to our Chilly Half training schedule, some powerwalking technique tips, and a MapMyRun 10K route for this week's Saturday walk. It looks like we'll have a quorum for a group at Tim's as well as our Resolution walk.

With promises that you won't be as bombarded by so many emails as we smooth out the bumps...

Cheers, everyone!

H.

Googlegroups is working very well for the stellarrunners, and you can have fun with it too! Set up your profile with a picture and a bit of info. You can also host files there, like training programs, pictures, word files. You can then link to those on your blog.

See you soon at Tims!

Helen, great job on this blog.

I will take the opportunity to wish the team a Very Happy and Healthy New Year.

I will be at Tim's on Saturday. It will be a tough one, as I have not done anything for the last 4 weeks.... yikes!

I am glad that the weather is warming up for us on Saturday.

See you there.
