http://www.bristolstorytellers.org

Finally, finally--I successfully uploaded Beaver Creek's new website yesterday. The Old Christmas performance of Jan. 6 of this year is there, but the blog will continue here. Blogs are like journals and you need to write in them often, even once a day sometimes. Blogspot sponsored by Google is a very easy way to communicate with members of a group. Especially nice is the ability to show relevant pictures, either individually or in a slideshow.

I hope you will experiment with this Blog and make your ideas and thoughts known through the Comment process.

At the bottom of this blog you will see the words "Atom Post." If you click on that, you will receive updates of all the posts and comments on your email provider's homepage so you don't have to keep loading this blog and then find there isn't anything new there.

If you experiment with this for awhile, you'll see what I'm talking about and discover how convenient it is. Of course, I'm assuming you are not acquainted with blogging when perhaps you can blog rings around me. I hope you will enjoy this blog, so my efforts are not in vain.

The url for our new website is http://www.bristolstorytellers.org. Mimi

BCS Bits & Pieces

Welcome! You can read my latest posts by using Blogspot or on my profile page on Facebook (Irma Rockwell)or on the profile page of the group administered by me "Beaver Creek Storytellers." You can sign up to learn the latest about the Beaver Creek Storytellers (BCS) by checking the box or text that says "Follow This Blog" or "Follow with Google Friend Connect." This will alert you to new information that has been posted.

The wizardry of HTML through the App "Networked Blogs" allows what I write on Blogspot to instantly appear on Facebook.

BCS is a 14-year old organization with 33 members. The past two years has been a transition time as the older leaders have semi-retired and let the next generation take the lead. We are getting larger audiences, attracting new performers, and becoming more skilled in oral storytelling. Entertainment is our main goal and the communities of Bristol are benefiting.

If you live close enough to come to our appearances, let me know by e-mail or through Facebook and I'll make sure you are notified of upcoming performances.
