Our Board executives have not actively been adding posts to this blog over the past year, mainly because effort has been redirected to the Facebook page for the Birch Glen Residents' Association (https://www.facebook.com/pg/birchglenresidentsassociation).
We are not abandoning this blog!
It is always a challenge to determine the best means of getting information to the people we think are the readers of this blog. In a perfect world, the authors, editors, and administrators of our sites should be able to type/enter information for a post once and have it appear on/in every site in the appropriate format. Or at least be able to share the post from one site to another. We still have not been able to determine how to do this across platforms.
Until we can figure this out, we are required to retype the information separately -- once on this blog, again on Facebook, and once again on the website. We haven't figured how to "cut and paste" from one platform to another. Since this is time-consuming, we have been focusing on our Facebook page. Unfortunately, not all residents of our Association are Facebook users.
Ah, it was simple when our only means of communication was the printed newsletter! We would gather the information and attempt to publish it in a timely manner with one newsletter every quarter (every three months). Of course, that did not allow for items that came across our desks after the newsletter had been printed. This was a great incentive to going online, knowing full well that many older residents were not computer savvy.
We will attempt to post news items to this blog in a timely manner. However, we also ask that people do check out our Facebook page (above) and LIKE and FOLLOW that page.
Meanwhile, please stay safe. The Covid-19 coronavirus is still very much present worldwide and we will be living with it for quite some time to come.
