New Forum – Testing Alternate Ride notification
Published January 23, 2011 | 
I have added a forum to the website – see the Forum tab under the Lara Cyclists Home tab. Currently, there are two forums (or is is forii??), one for Rides, one for General Topics.
Please keep the Rides Forum only for notification of ride times, and ride information. I'm thinking this might be a way to replace the SMS notifications – check in with the Rides Forum the day before you are planning to join, to find out times and add a quick response if you are riding.
Any other topic you wish to contribute for discussion, please use the General Topics Forum.
We are able to add more forums as required.
Let's continue to use the Blog for stories, ride reports, photos etc. The forum, will be a place for online discussion.
Email Notification of Blog Posts
Published January 8, 2011 |
I am testing new software to notify our blog subscribers via email, when a new blog post is made. Would you please let me know (email) if and when you receive email notification of this blog entry? Thanks. I am also working on a quick and easy notification system for our rides, to avoid the need for Barrie or others to send out bulk SMS. Stay tuned for this!
Today's training ride (my variant) is here http://goo.gl/nDueX
Wednesday's Bun-breaker here http://goo.gl/WkvME
Happy Riding.
P.S. – Ok, looks like the first software tested didn't do anything (at least I got no email), so this modification is to test another solution.
New Website and Comments
In setting up the new website, I have restricted comments to blog posts (here!) and to the Gadget Watch pages (product reviews). On the old site, there were several comments on other pages, that I have removed to clean up the site. In order not to lose those comments however, I have reproduced them here:
