PhredPhest is Alive







This is the first post in our own blogsite called PHREDPHEST. This is where we can post, blog, give crap to and basically have a site that we can regale each other on the glories and agonies after each ride, and save the unseemly email traffic that goes out after each ride.




For example, instead of having all the emails go back and forth, maybe clogging your inbox on a day after a ride, one post happens here, then everyone can comment, and re-comment. And add links. And video. And things you may not want to put in an email. It is possible to post post pictures like one of Kevin O'Connor like this:
















Or like this.


We'll all have our own nicknames:
BPZ


BPo


Ry-Boy


TL


Fury


KOC


Yeti


Here is a FAQ/Primer on how to use this site:





  1. Do I have to be a good writer to post?
    NO.


  2. Do I have to be as witty and urbane as any of the Murphy/Murphini bloggers?
    You can't ever get to that levely, but you can approach it


  3. Do I need to get a google account to post comments?
    Yes. Very easy todo. Just click on COMMENTS and it'll walk you through the steps, basically giving your email address and createing a "handle". I think we should use the ones we already know.


  4. Will there be opportunities to do things that email won't allow?
    Yes


  5. Will this be as interesting as BikeSnobNYC or Wholesome Steel-Cut Goodness?
    Probably. Less verbose. Grittier.


Will this get used, maybe, but probably will be a slow train a comin...
