The News is for Everyone

Now anyone logged into the site can post to the news journal. Previously, only certain users had access to this journal. As requested by Rachel, I have moved the news journal (the former elmwood journal) to a more prominent location. This allow people to easily check out what is going on by clicking on the news link at the top.

It will also alert people to check for upcommming events or important site information when they see the news jorunal in the top ten list.

I would like to ask that the users please keep postings on this journal releveant to current events or site information. I will continue to use this journal to post information about updates to the site. For all other types of postings, please you your own journal.

Google Searches Getting better

It really works, I typed in a journal entry a couple days ago that mentioned my name in it several tmes, and now it shows up number one under my name on google. Most of your jorunals already show up under your username. Try typing "your username elmwood strip" into google. You should come up now. I tested holly and matthew at least.

This is the New/Old News Journal

Rachel, requested that we resurrect a news journal now that the faq is on the front page. I think it is a good idea, and seeing as the radio is useless, I have replaced the radio link on the banner with the news link.

If we are playing the radio ever, we will simply update the radio journal to alert people. So if you are interested look for the radio journal the next time it is in the top ten.

You may notice that the news link is infact the old elmwood journal, just renamed news. I will be opening it shortly to allow all memebers of the site to post to it.

Sidewalk Chalk

We wrote elmwoodstrip.com on the sidewalks again. Some guys asked us if they could borrow chalk along the way. I said sure, so if you see anything other than the words "elmwoodstrip.com" on the sidewalk, it wasn't from us.

Requesting Top Ten Via Email

You may request the last ten journal entries via email. Simply send an email to last10 at elmwoodstrip.com Once again I wrote it that way to avoid spam harvesters. Please sue a normal @ symbol when sending the email.

Make sure to use the subject last10. The body of the email can be blank. In return you will receive a text version of the last ten updates in an email with links to the online versions. This means you can now read the site and still look like you are busy doing work.
