Lunch at Rex's
Thanks for a great lunch everyone, and for your hopitality Rex. Hopefully you will all have received your invitation to be an author on the site by now.
If you don't have a google account, it is quite simple to get one if you follow the directions. Once you have your google account, use it to log in at the site in your email. Then you can post a new post at any time.

Here are the photos I took today:
Everyone looked good in a beret, but Eric looked "bad" :)
If you don't have a google account, it is quite simple to get one if you follow the directions. Once you have your google account, use it to log in at the site in your email. Then you can post a new post at any time.
Post etiquette:
- please keep posts fairly short (ie don't ramble on .. and on .. and on .. etc)
- keep on the topic - the blog is about our walk in France (and maybe other hints about travel that you discover)
- if you find something new and interesting, add it to the blog - there are special buttons to click on the post screen to add links to websites, pictures and blocks of text - the text block button can be a little confusing at first, but you can always just type it in
- keep the pictures fairly small - absolute maximum, 1/2 MB, but even smaller is better - ideally a resolution of 72dpi for web pics - you can click on a picture and get a bigger version
- please get involved - we'll all have this as a record of our travels when we get home
- you can also get involved by commenting on other people's posts
- I reserve the right to edit material - this will usually involve fixing typos and spelling errors - once a schoolie, always a schoolie!
