At our last Program Committee meeting, we came up with the idea of a new section of our website called "Recipes".  The idea was to have a collection of cheat sheets - quick and easy how-to references that contained only the essential info and a couple of examples.  New recipes would be presented in more detail at a club meeting.

You'll find a link to this new section on the menu to the left.  The first recipe is already posted, and explains how we want photos for our contests submitted - be sure you read it! A recipe for the August meeting's topic, silhouettes, will be posted next, so check back often.

As you probably  noticed by now, the club has a blog.  This is a place for all club members to write about their experiences as photographers.  For example, you might have learned a really cool trick on your camera and want to share it, or maybe you have a review for some photographic equipment you just tried.  Or you just came back from the most amazing shooting location.  Or maybe you really liked the prints you just got and want to give kudos to the printer.  Anything at all.

To add to the blog, you just need a username and password that I can set up for you.  I suggest a username that indicates who you are, since that way you get credit for your writing.  For example, my username is GailCarmichael and that shows up under all my blog posts.  To get a username, use the Contact Us form and ask for an account.

Once you do have a username and you are logged in, a menu item will appear on the site called "Create Content."  You click that, and then a new link called "Blog Post" appears.  When you click that, a new page shows up that lets you enter your article.  You don't even have to know any HTML. Once it's saved, it will automatically show up on the blog page.

Pretty neat eh?

The blog will only be interesting if we have a variety of contributers.  No matter your experience level, you have something to valuable say, so sign up today!
