Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.
So I just updated the blogging software for the website and I noticed that I had an option to add Gravatars fairly easily to the comments section. What is a Gravatar you ask? Allow me to quote the Gravatar website:
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?
How do I get a gravatar?
Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that's required is your email address. Once you've signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you'll start seeing it on gravatar enabled sites!
So basically, you make an account with Gravatar.com, and as long as you use the same email address for that account as you did for this site, you should start seeing your own avatar show up beside your comment.
What do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Let us know in the comments section below.
UPDATE: Changed my mind and got rid of the feature.
I just remembered that I had these photos from Tim Horton's Camp Day back in the beginning of June. Cadets Robert and Brooke Rae did a great job representing us at the downtown Tim Horton's. The photos can now be found in our photo album.
On another note, I've finally cracked and paid for a Pro account on Flickr, so the Amazin Race photos should get posted this summer. This time I really mean it. If anybody still has photos from that event, please get them to myself or Capt Gerbrandt ASAP.
ACR photos have been added to the photo album. More descriptions will be added to the photos soon. If you have any photos that you took that you think should be in the album, from this or any other event, please email them to me at KFBradley at live dot ca.
This post is to test out the capability to integrate video into our blog. This is so that we may add videos to our new YouTube channel in the near future.
I made a quick update to the blog today during my lunch break. I think it looks much cleaner and easier to read. What do you think? Let us know in the comments by registering. Any other changes you'd like to see? Content you think we should add? Is there something you want us to blog about? Add it to the comments.
BTW, I also added an easy way to share or re-post these blogs posts. I have a button available in the bottom right of this post that provides an easy way to share on Facebook, Technorati, del.icio.us, and more. I'm still trying for Twitter support. Note that if you are viewing this post from that main page, you won't be able to see that button, you have to go to the actual post, where you would see the comments too.
Just a quick thank you to all the Cadets and volunteers that made the first tri-service Amazin' Race event a HUGE success. THanks guys, it wouldn't have worked without you.
I will be trying to get photos and times posted within the week. Please send any photos you have to KFBradley [at] live [dot] ca (deliberately broken for spammers), and I will try very hard to get them up. Alternatively, you may bring them in to your unit on a parade night, and they will get to me.
So again, thank you everyone and keep watching this space for updates within the week.
This weekend, I'm working on putting a TENTATIVE calendar for the next training year up on the site. If you go to the calendar you may notice several events already up for next year, with very few details about the events. This is because locations have yet to be secured and timings have yet to be decided. This is a blueprint for us to work off of, with what we'd like to do next year. By no means should any of these events be considered set in stone. For example, you'll notice that there is an event for Mil Band practice on Fridays. We have yet to find an instructor, secure instruments, or done any of the various things required to start a band. It may not happen, but we'd like it to.
So please, take a look at the calendar, get an idea for what we are planning for next yea, and leave us feedback right here in the comments about it. We'd like to hear from you, get your thoughts or ideas. So any comments, questions, queries or theories, leave them here and we'll get an answer for you. See something missing from the calendar that you think we should do? Leave a comment and we'll see if we can accommodate it. Remember, this is your corps, you have a say in what we do.
