Write about the breakfast, or about penguins. Also, I like DND...so we should play that soon. Steve, school is out now, and really i get bored easy, so you should skip work and we'll play dnd one of these weeknights, or this weekend, or next weekend is fine also...too.

I changed the location of the blog to this website. It only took me about an hour+ of trial and error to get everything to work properly.

There are times I wish I understood html better then I do.

Confused

Okay, this is a bit humbling. I just was playing around on the internet and decided to try a couple things....

Google "troop 68" and this site was on the top of the list!

Google "melrose minnesota" and this site is number 7 on the first page.
Google "watchamagumee" and only two sites came up, but both were about Troop 68 and one of its members.

Now the really strange part....
In May I started a "Scoutmaster's Blog" as an experiment with a goal of getting one entry per week online. Today, I Googled "scoutmaster blog" and, boy, was I surprised! Not only did it make the first page of the 97,400 entries that Google found, it was #2 on the list!

I went into the stats page for the site and discovered something else. Last month the blog was not even listed in the top 30 hits on the site. So far this month (and there is still a week to go) the blog received more hits (1237) then the home page did (1059)! Last month (August) the home page received 1116 hits.

This is weird! It must have something to do with RSS feeds.
