For those who are not familiar with the blogging process here are a few guidelines.
• The blog serves as a forum where we can enter information and opinions to do with the proposed high speed rail through Ashland. It avoids the need for long and messy email strings.
• The host organization is wordpress.com which is, I am told, the largest blogging platform in the world. So we are dealing with a reliable and reputable back office.
• If you have not used WordPress before you will need to set up an account. They ask for information about yourself, including your email address. None of this information is published.
• If you do not wish to share your real name create a pseudonym. You will see that mine is ‘suttonbooks’ although, on this particular blog, I am using my real name as well.
• Add your comments by writing your text in the the ‘Leave a Reply’ box to one of the existing posts.
• This is a free forum so you may see an advertisement. I have no control over this.
• Remember that anything you write is published to the world.
If you need additional information give me a call or send me an email or text.
