She's just a work in progress as of now.  I plan on changing the template, and tweaking a bit.  But as a work in progress, here she is: http://wvappleseed.blogspot.com/

If you'd like to write an article or entry.  Forward it along to me, and it'll get posted, with your credentials of course.

If you have suggestions or comments, send them my way.

Keep your powder dry,

Excellent Mountaineer...excellent!  O0  I like what I've seen so far and I can't wait to see the next level that you mentioned. I also encourage everyone to submit material for content. I'm still amazed the WV Appleseed program finally has it's own blog, and I didn't have to get out of these ( &)) to make it happen! Keep up the good work my friend.  :)

Blog Updated:  23 Feb 2010,
Thanks...is there a way we can get a traffic count for that blog? It would be nice to have some stats on the effectiveness of this particular effort. I've been linking back to the blog from other internet sites whenever I can.

Nice work.  O0

Retired or even current LEOs are not officialy free as of now and it is 20 and under not under 20.



PS: I don't see a reason to point out that 2019 has not happened yet..... ;)

Good catch my friend!  ;)  Can you please get this corrected ASAP 'M'?

I also spotted some other details that need changed: 1. "under 20 shoot for free..."; should be "under 21 shoot for free...". 2. The 2010 Stinson schedule link is this one: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=10971.0 3. The link to the main RWVA website is incorrect, it has an "r" after "info"...should be http://www.rwva.org or http://www.appleseedinfo.org . 4. Fred made a good point of adding the RWVA blog to our links list. That particular blog is often overlooked, but it contains a wealth of good info. Let's do our part in trying to direct some more traffic to it. Keep up the good work!  O0

    How the &%$# did I miss this?

    Looks good!

    I'd suggest adding the RWVA blog www.rwva.org/blog to the "Links" list.

    I'd also like you to review the RWVA blog and PM me with some ideas to make it more useful/efficient/enticing, if possible...

All right, Gentlemen,

  Those changes and fixes have been made.  Thanks for the weather eye, I need to have you guys proof-read my campaign website  (-;  .  Look forward to see y'all around, or meeting you, as the case may be.

In Liberty,

Other than those, it looks great.  O0

    Actually, it should be "Saturday, 15 Oct 2016", and a report of the One Millionth Appleseeder showing up - at a West Virginia Appleseed!

   And, after he was suitably greeted and the announcement made by the Shoot Boss, said SB turned to the assembled crowd and Asked The Magic Question: "Shall we stop now?"

   And to unanimous acclaim, the decision was made to continue another year - and double to TWO Million! :) O0 ^:)^ ^:)^ ..:.. ^:)^ ..:.. ^:)^ ..:.. ^:)^ ..:.. ..:.. ..:..

The right pane of the blog has been edited to show the new AS's in Beckley.

tried to post a comment on your blog but obviously I'm internet handicapped.  I couldn't figure out how to do it and gave up after a couple of tries.  You've got a nice layout there but it doesn't look like folks are getting interested/involved.  I thought it might help if some of use began to post comments that might get other folks interested in questioning or commenting.

OD, you must click that "Sign In" link in the top right corner and follow the instructions before you can post comments. If you already have a Google account, it just asks for your password to log in. If you don't have a Google account, you can create one from that "Sign In" link. It seems like a lot of hassle to go through, just to post a comment. Not as user friendly as a 'Word Press' blog.

Mountaineer, did you look into using Word Press, instead of this app? I know in WP, the Administrator has control over the way comments are dealt with from the "Dashboard". Comment options come in 3 general flavors: 1. allow anyone to comment 2. user must sign in before commenting 3. comments are locked. There is some tweaking, using filters, which can be done if comments are allowed...keeps "bots" and "spammers" from fouling things up.  :)

I've never used WordPress, I can look into it if you want.  Blogger is just what I'm most familiar with.
