About the author

Since July 2004 I have taken  on line courses at LVS for the purpose of learning how to  create and maintain web sites.  While taking courses at LVS I focused on such topics as Web Development, Web Site Editors, and graphics program, Paint Shop Pro.From 2001 to 2004. I also took basic html courses at another on-line resource, Virtual University.  LVS offered a wider variety and more advanced classes that can help to explore other similar topics.

Having an interest in web sites lead into my interest in blogging, which influenced me to enroll at  LVS  for “Blogging for Fun, Fame, and Fortune.” Before enrolling for this course, I started a Google blog for uploading images of 2006 Lewis and Clark trip. Then, it dawned on me that by taking “Blogging for Fun, Fame and Fortune,”  to have an insight as to how to create and maintain a WordPress Blog. Our neighborhood association VP provided a host for the neighborhood WordPress blog which was turned over to me for maintenance.  Later, our neighborhood association focused  on Google Group to enhance communication between neighbors and I was co-owner of that group until our local neighborhood association combined with Gracy Woods Neighborhood association..

In preparing for uploading pages for web sites I subscribed to GoDaddy.com host and selected “goldinrule.com” since “goldenrule.com” was taken. After a learning curve lasting about a week, I felt  comfortable in using the host’s features to build a “WordPress” blog, WorPress start up on host site includes built in   features offered by GoDaddy.com.

As we have boxes of travel mementos and pictures in storage, a blog on travel experiences seemed like a relevant topic for blogging journal –  a travel log for the blog class.  My thinking was that the word “Discover” has other generic meanings that  opens up  a latitude to expand the blog to other areas of “Discovery.”It’s new to me is a discovery.., right?
