techie issues

Internet Browser compatibility is always an issue for general access blogs, I guess.  Here,  http://tptennis.blogspot.com couldn't consistently be found by IE9, although IE8, Firefox, and GoogleChrome had no problems.  So I changed the way to access the blog, since no fix for IE9 seemed in the near future.  The blog now has its own internet address: www.tennis4seniors.com a name which also may help tennis players (headed to Mesa) find TowerPoint rather than one of the competing resorts.  The key however, is still to have the blog serve a really useful purpose for club members.  If the blog doesn't do that, it's not going to last no matter how many new visitors find the site, so all ideas and suggestions are welcome.  I chatted briefly with Bill E and he said "Let's see if anyone wants it" [before discussing how the blog might, or might not,fit in with the official TowerPoint Tennis website, www.towerpointtennis.org].  So if I can get 10-12 interested players who think one or more features are useful, we'll give it a shot this fall.  In the meantime, I'll do a little tweeking and solicit ideas from everyone.  If it catches on, fine, if not, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I learned how to blog. :-)
