CHRIS GULD IS BACK ON THE ROAD!

Photo by Jeff Fay

Chris Guld is back on the road, but this time, in a new motorhome!  Compared to their previous 30 foot/no slides home for the past 8 years, Chris says this one is a palace!  It should be called a motor mansion instead of a motorhome.  It’s a 2007 Gulf Stream Endura Diesel, Class C, 37 ft with 2 large slideouts.  

Chris and her husband, Jim travel the country giving computer seminars on digital photos, blogging, Facebook, GPS, and other topics of interest to travelers.  Their first ‘Gig’ was in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  Next they were asked to present at Lazydays RV in Tampa.  Since they couldn’t get there in person, they will be presenting the seminar remotely, using Skype’s video-teleconferencing and screensharing.  Let’s follow them on Facebook (www.facebook.com/geeksontour) to see how it goes!

Life is too complicated. New one stop for finding WEC Events

Susan Kingsley 009-3 copy 2sf

Hello from your WEC Events Team Member Susan. :)

We now have an Events page for all of the WEC Events, (and member outside activities), such as Member Events, Book Club, Cannon Circles, Workshops, After Hours, etc. Rather than you having to scour the entire site for functions, you can check the Events page for ease in time and convenience. :)

Monthly meetings are found in the calendar as par usual. Meetings have been posted for the entire year, so please add them to your schedule, as there are a lot of great ideas in the works…..

There is a tab at the top of the webpage named Events. When blog postings are added to the Events page, the Event will be in bold text and underlined, so you can click the named event and see the post. WEC members, if you have an event for the ladies to attend, please email me and I can post it. Jenette does post your events you send her in the newsletter, however this is not on an a ‘la minute basis such as the Events page posts created by yours truly. :) Jenette will pull the events postings and add to the newsletter for you as well, in case you ever send for me and forget to send to her.

Easy as 1… 2… 3…. :)

This will not affect the rest of the webpage or calendar. It is an addition to what is already offered for you. In addition, at the right hand side margin of the page there is a contents area. Items can be searched this way or at the top right of the page, there is a magnifying glass. You can search by word to find postings. Thanks to Chris Guld, our webmaster, www.geeksontour.com, for her assistance in helping us all.

Another step to show your sisterhood in WEC is appreciated. xo$xo$xo$

Chris Guld’s WEC treasure hunt

Hello WECers!

Win a Business Link Treasure Hunt:

Here’s another chance for you to win a link to your business on the WEC website.  At the last luncheon I showed you how to browse around the website using the ‘Categories’ … they are listed in the right sidebar as ‘Contents’ of the Website.  I also showed you how to find anything in the website by using the Search box in the upper right of the site.  So, here’s the Treasure Hunt:

1. Tell me how many ‘Events’ have been posted to the website since its beginning by sending me an email.  (Hint: look at ‘Contents’)

2. Find a member from Michigan and leave her a comment

3. Find a member who attended Chapel Hill and leave her a comment

This time I won’t pick the winners by the first people to accomplish the above.  Instead, I’ll write down all the members who got it right, and we’ll pick a name out of the hat at the next luncheon.

Good luck!

Our Blogging Class

image

On Saturday morning at Chadia’s business meeting room, we had 9 WEC members who came to learn how to Blog.  Chris Guld, and her husband Jim were there to teach the class.  Lenore Alpert and Lyn Sheft created brand new blogs during the class.  Emily Rushin, Joyce Shore, Chadia Meroueh and Jenette Mathai learned a little more about their existing blogs.  Lynda Amorello, Carol Metevier and Liz Mendel got ideas!

Chris enjoyed having the opportunity to teach this class because it is one of her ‘Geeks on Tour’ new offerings.  You can download a copy of the class handout if you’re interested in learning about blogging with WordPress.

congratulations to Maggie smith, Diane Hickey and cynthia hardy!
