Blog Update....working with this site

As I have been tweaking this site I have noticed that there are many quirks and I am trying to figure out how to tell everyone how to navigate and post comments.

1. I adjusted the settings within Blogger and now anyone should be able to comment without having to sign in or create an account. When you go to the comment page, it will ask you to sign in or click below a few spaces and you will see the "Anonymous" click that and comment away.

2. The site doesn't seem to update itself very well. According to Blogger they say to erase your browsers history and try refreshing your page. I noticed that this doesn't work every time. But I did notice if you go to the right of the page under "BLOG ARCHIVE" and click the newest blog entry that this will give you the newer updated page.

If you notice or have any problems please let me know by commenting.

Thanks
Rob

We are back from Raleigh, safe and sound


After a very long 8 hour drive we made it back to good old NJ. Had it not been for the 1.5 hrs of traffic it would have been a very very nice drive! Click here to view some more photos of our time with Bob, his family, and Rob. We had a very nice time in Raleigh, it was a little hot at 95 degrees but swimming at the Hoyles' pool help a lot. We have not seen Bob's family since his wedding 10 yrs ago, so it was really great to see them again.

As far as a warm up trip (pre-cross country) what we learn was driving wasn't a problem but how exactly we packed and what we drag into the hotels on a daily basis is something we have to work out. I am not excited about bringing in everything from the car, but unless I want to risk the car getting broken into that is what we are going to do. We will leave the dirty clothes in the car until we find a laundry mat.

Weekend in Raleigh N.C.

Lori and I have made the drive to Raleigh with no problems, we hit a tiny bit of traffic in the D.C. area but that was it.
Once here we went a to a surprise 30th party of one of Cocker's Co-workers, from there we headed to Hoyle's house for a few drinks and some time playing the wi. I have to say I woke up sore after playing that game check out some random shots of our trip so far.

Going to raleigh

Lori and I are going to Raleigh this weekend and we are going to test our blogging/updating ability while we are there. As most of you know Rob Cocker (check out his site in my links) is living down there and we are going to pay him a visit. Also, living down there is Bob Hoyle who has not lived in NJ since he graduated high school. So, check back and see how we do.
