As you can tell (if you are surprised to land on this page instead of the old blog) we've combined the Blogger blog and the defunct website into a new entity with a url of http://christchurchvt.org. You will be directed here from the old blog or the old www.christchurchvt.org links. This is very much a work in progress and your input/advice is welcome. These systems are only as good as the content so think of this as one more tool in getting the word out to members, near and far, and others. The blog, which this article is on, will contain five or six of the most current "news" articles. The blog feature gives the website energy since it's updated frequently and subscribers get a notice, either by rss feed or email, when new items are posted. Right now, we have 23 subscriptions by rss and 28 by email (although there are some duplicates.) Essentially, nearly 50 households get notice of new material. If you haven't subscribed, please do so. We use Feedburner for subscriptions. Under most posts, you'll see this: If you want to receive updates, please subscribe by rss or by by email Rss feeds are usually through a reader and once set up, list new posts as they occur. Email signups are easier, but perhaps more intrusive since you get an email any time w make a new post. Let me know if you need help in subscribing - there's several of us who can help.
The web component of this site, with all the links above, is important to lay out information about our vibrant Christ Church community so that members, prospective visitors, anyone -- can get a look at who we are, what's going on, etc. Blog posts with lasting interest will be moved after a bit to the respective section of the website. This site is built on what is called a content management system. Essentially, that means that down the road, we'll figure out how others can post articles on it. In the meantime, feel free to email material (as some of you do already) and also use the comments section on blog posts. Thanks, Dick Mansfield

As I write this, Sister Laurian is 200 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska. And while she has not encountered trolls or elves or magical rings, having set off as Bilbo did on a great birthday adventure, she has encountered thieves and border guards, mosquitoes and mountains as she rolled through the great Yukon on to the north.
