You're not the only one who doesn't understand this faulty attempt to communicate.
Blogging, like
any web based technology is a pull technology, meaning that the recipient needs to take a
specific
action to read something. And needs to take that action often, because they never know
when
something new is posted.
Email is a push technology. The writer pushes the information to the reader. The reader
doesn't
have to log on to a site repeatedly to get the information.
Let's get back to doing the way that is going to benefit most of the people who are
doing the work
in NJGenWeb, the CC/TC's. Blogging might be nice if you have nothing else to do with
your time, but
email is better for the rest of us.

Janice,
I don't understand the necessity of requiring us to create and subscribe to
something that is outside of the the USGenWeb if we wish to be kept informed
of information that is relevant to the NJGenWeb and us as CC/TC's.
Please explain the reason for the need for this "Blog", as I am at a loss to
understand.
Regards
Brianne Kelly-Bly
