Everyone is important
One of the things I think we have learned through Horizons is the fact that we have many residents who live sparingly and month to month, but it doesn’t keep them from volunteering at church, helping at school, volunteering for Dakota Senior Meals, or just giving a ride to someone who has to go to the doctor. There are many other instances of involvement - helping at the soup kitchen, volunteering at the nursing home, etc. It is the quiet leadership that is evident and which contributes to the health of our community.

For those of us who are not tech-savy the process for making a comment is confusing and misleading. The instructions given to me for making a comment were to go the bottom of the article and click on “No Comment.” If I had not had someone to talk me through the process, I would never have thought to click on “No Comment.” Why even have that choice? If a reader has no comment, why the necessity for saying so? And certainly why should I have to click on “No Comment” in order to make a comment? I realize most other users are more facile in using the internet, but this process seems unnecessarily confusing.

Susan,
I understand your frustration, the blogs are run through a program called Word Press, and that is the format they use with comments. When it says No Comment, that is Word Press’s way of letting a reader know that no one has made a comment yet. I too think they could have worded it a little better…but unfortunately we don’t have control over that. But once a comment is made, then it will say “1 comment” or “4 comments” etc. and the reader knows that they can click there and read what others have said.
I am glad to see that you were able to successfully make a comment here. I appreciate your willingness to learn the technology and now that you know the procedure I hope we see more input from you in the future…and perhaps you can teach someone else what you have learned too!
