This is our new Middle Georgia Bluegrass Association Blog. It is for the members use. So please register. You will find complete step by step instructions at the end of this post. But please read the entire post so you will know what this is all about.
Our mission is to promote Bluegrass music throughout central Georgia by bringing together those who enjoy playing, singing, or just listening to bluegrass music.
So please use this blog to further our mission. You can write about anything related to Bluegrass music. We would like to hear your ideas. Let us know what you would like to see our association do. You can ask questions. You can make suggestions. You can advertise an instrument for sale or an instrument you would like to buy.
Another very useful thing about blogs is they are interactive. You can write and publish a post and then others can comment on your post. Please do this as it gets a two way conversation going on a subject and makes it more interesting for everyone.
All we ask is that you be nice and treat others as you would like to be treated. I don’t really think that is an issue with our group, but it has been on some blogs.
This blog will be moderated, so if there is something you don’t understand or need help with, please get in touch with myself (Herschel Lawhorn – hblawhorn@yahoo.com – 478-654-6309) or Ebin Shepard (EbinShepard@cox.net – 478-935-3952).
We appreciate your support and encourage your use of this blog.

A new box will open for you to give your post a “Title” and in the second box you will write whatever it is you want to say. That is all that is necessay, but you can assign your post to a certain catogory and you can attach “tags” which are nothing but keywords that tell search engines like Google what your post is about. Tags need to be separated by commas.
