We’ve redone the website and weblog for Ray Cox, converting it from a NetObjects Fusion / Blogger to WordPress. Northfield web designer Sean Hayford O’Leary did the heavy lifting on the design and various technological tasks. I’ve been in charge of teaching the ol’ dog Ray new tricks, since he’s been using Blogger since late 2002. I’ve introduced him to Windows Live Writer, my new favorite blogging client application.

Jessica Peterson and I teamed up for another Horizons community blogging class last night, this time in Wabasha, MN (”home of The National Eagle Center and Grumpy Old Men“).  We also had participants from Hokah. Click the photos to enlarge. Also joining us, like he did last week in Floodwood, was Martin Wera (upper left in the left photo, waving). Martin’s a new staffer with the Horizons Project at the U of MN Extension.

I was the trainer last night for a Horizons community blogging class in St. James, MN – with participants also from Mountain Lake and Elmore. Click the photo to enlarge. (We also had three high school students in the class but they had to depart early.)

I teamed up with fellow Northfielder Jessica Peterson (right) who’s the Horizons coach in southern Minnesota.

This time, however, class participants were from surrounding communities, too, including Chisolm, Eveleth and Mountain Iron. Those Eveleth bloggers (center photo, center two women) were tough to handle, as they’ve been blogging since June on the Eveleth Horizons blog. Good thing we had three teens in the class to keep the adults in check. Click photos to enlarge.

I was the trainer last night for a Horizons community blogging class in New York Mills, MN, home of the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center and the Great American Think-Off.
