I'll be sending an email out to the Cropdusters to let them know we're knocking around a blog idea.
It's a general invitation to have a look and see what interest it garners.
A blog is not a new idea, and has been suggested before.
This blogging thing is new to many of us, so we'll run a trial for a couple of months as the season approaches.
The way to make a blog work as a club communications tool is to have members add their email addresses to "follow" the blog (to subscribe to automatic notices to your email when someone posts something on the blog.)
All experimental at this time, so relax and just watch if you'd like.
The advantage of a blog is that it will notify everyone simultaneously of a new post if they're subscribed.
Well, why is that better than emailing people?
Main thing is, you don't need to maintain an email "address list" or "group". You don't need to "reply-to-all" in order to answer everyone in the conversation. Since each subscriber provides their own email address to the blog, as addresses and memberships change you don't need to update your lists.
Another aspect of the blog is that it gives us a forum for conversations. Everyone can respond to a central place for making plans to fly, planning events or work parties, sharing updates (including pictures!) about your own projects, shop ideas or flying adventures!
So chime in and let us know if you like it or hate it, or have other ideas!
See the "About" page for some basic info, including how to become an "Author" on the blog.
Contact me directly if you'd like, at:

And we're off!
Scott O'Connor & the blog pilot team.
