Hi Gigi, Ok that sounds great. The reason for the blog is that the Rainforest Foundation is offering to help us in several ways and one of the ideas they had was for them to pubblish a blog from the Xixuau. At that point I thought that if we were making a blog for them it would be a good idea to put it up on our site as well. I certainly hope we can do this regularily from now on and when I get to the Xixuau I will talk with the people there to see if someone from the village is willing to work on it and make a weekly local report. Dont forget to let us know if you can make it over.

I then installed Wordpress, the standard opens source blog program , provided an initial configuration and then sent to AA the following miessage in three languages =============================================== blog.amazonia.org There are three amazonia blogs Portuguese Italiano English All persons can read the blogs To write on the blogs you must register Registered persons can have different roles and capabilities: Contributors can write only comments and articles drafts Authors can write and publish comments and articles Editors can also edit articles, create categories and links Administrator can add writers, change their role and capability, modify the look and structure of blog Blog master can edit the software program (.php, html,mysql If you want to write into all three the blogs you must register separately to all three the blogs Currently the role automatically assigned at registration is Author If you want a different role or require help or you have found errors or malfunctioning please contact blogmaster@amazonia.org The blog is based on Wordpress (see www.wordpress.org) ================================================================ Apart from an initial article by Chris nobody made use of this instrument, so I was quite surprised when Chris some days ago told me that in England people were working to provide him with a blogging facility when he never made use of the blog already set-up for him and all other people of the Associacao Amazonia. Let us not keep doing things twice or thrice, the resources are scarce and once is enough. I hope that this time people will start using the blog, especially the portuguese speakers of the Jauaperi. Currently there is not a link to the blog in the home page. I was waiting that the blogs are minimally filled and tested but if you think we can put it on the homepage immediately. Until some volunteer (Toby :-) ? ) does not offer his services as Administrator and Blog Master I shall perform those functions.
