Blogging

One interesting feature of the Belmont Front Porch is the Tag Cloud on the right side of the page.

It is a design feature that comes with blogging programs. We have found it amusing as the posted entries have accumulated. It is a dynamic feature that helps readers find stories or articles that we have “tagged”. Sort of like a dynamic index.

The larger the titles, or categories as they are truly known, the more articles under that title.

Pretty simple.

Unlike Fox News, or other media outlets that purport to provide “fair and balanced”, coverage, the Tag Cloud is the everyman’s (and woman’s) gauge to the fairness of what is published.

Doubtful that will happen here on the front porch. We talk just about everything and just try to be respectful. The holly bushes can be pretty stickley when you land on them wrong.

We asked for help, and we got it.

This is exactly what we mean by community. Several people who read the Belmont Front Porch responded to our request to help with imbedding links. The solution was simple, and resulted in a whack upside the head for all of us. Thanks especially to The Gaston Spectator  for their help.

Our editors, while savy business people, outstanding social hosts, and intelligent individuals, are just not “technical” enough to figure out on our own how to imbed the link functions while writing the posts.

Any fellow bloggers out there — feel free to comment with the specific directions about imbedding links. Our articles will be shorter and easier to view, and as you surf/click-through, you will be able to cover more territory.
