I have something I want to say, Where do I say it?

As I watch people begin to use the site, I see that it is not as clear as it should be where things are to be posted. What seems to be happening, is that people see the Comment link and add a comment wherever they happen to be. The problem with that is they don't end up in the right place. A couple of suggestions about website improvements have been added as comments below a note of an upcoming event. Another was entered in reply to a forum post that it was not related to rather than as a new forum topic. And some come to me by email outside of the website altogether.

When you add something to the site, it gets added where you are in the site at that moment, so before you start adding things (and please do add things). Here is a bit of an outline:

• Forums - these are discussions that are organized by topic and sub topic. Go directly to Forums or to the Forums Help piece (which is incomplete until I write it. Forums are private, only Members and Friends of Rotary can read and comment in them.
• Blogs - these are places for your own comments, on whatever topic you like. You can start any discussion you want and other can read and respond. See "What is a Blog" in my own blog or the help article about Blogs
• Comments - You can add a comment to nearly anything and it stays tied to that item. Just click the Comment link and when someone else comes to the same item you were at when you added the comment, they will see the comment you left.

Hope that helps, if you have questions, just ask!
