How this BLOG works

Some people who visit here may have an interest in being involved, others may just want to come look. There are two levels at which a person can be involved with a BLOG.

  1. Post comments to articles published
  2. Publish articles

The information for the BLOG is stored by blogger.com as a service. One person creates the BLOG and sets the limits on how the BLOG is used. There are two levels of privilege associated with a BLOG as an author. The original author is the site administrator. The site administrator can invite others to be contributing authors. Contributing authors can also be designated as administrators by the original administrator or subsequent administrators.

This BLOG is set so that the general public can view the BLOG. Anybody in the world can visit and look at what is published here. The administrator(s) can change the permission on viewing the BLOG to just those who have OpenId accounts, those invited by the administrator, or just authors. This BLOG is wide open to everybody for comments and viewing.

So in review, there are three levels of participation.

  1. Administrator
  2. Author
  3. General Public

Anybody can look and comment. Only authors can post articles. The administrator controls who can do what.

If you are a part of the Ted and Cora Bingham family and would like to have permission to be an author, then please notify Kent or me (Larry) that you would like to be invited by an administrator.
