Hey all,
So, in addition to the new accounts I set up, I made an account called "100milehiker." (author name is Avid Hiker)
If you want to invite people to post to the blog, simply give them the 100milehiker credentials to log into the blogspot.com site. That will allow them to access the blog and post their own experiences.
Right now, only 2 accounts have administrative access to the blog (mine and Maureen's) but that can definitely be changed. Let me know if you would like administrative access and I can make it happen :-) Administrators can change the layout and template of the blog, as well as edit or delete other author's posts.
On privacy: anybody in the world can view this blog. There are certain privacy limitations we can impose, however. To do that, you would need an email address for every person who you would like to be able to read the blog.
On charts: we may be able to provide a downloadable excel spreadsheet for members to keep track of their own hikes, but I do not know of a way to put a chart on the blog that can be edited by people.
If you carry a camera with you on your hikes or other outdoor activities, we have a nearly unlimited amount of space for pictures on the blog. While you are writing your post, simply click on the small picture icon in the editing bar (third from the left).

On comments: Under each post, there is a section for comments. If you are curious about how a fellow member did a hike, how long it took, or just want to tell them "good job," feel free to comment below any post. You don't have to be a member or a regular blogger.
On the photo at top: If you like it, we can keep it. Or, if have a different image in mind, it can easily be changed. Or we can go without a picture. What do you think? Keep it, change it, or lose it? Leave a comment below or email me.
Any other questions can either be posted here or emailed to me at matt@vaultphotos.com
Thanks!
-Matt Beaty
