Something for the younger set

Ran across this band the other day and I didn’t know the youngin’s know how to play music like this anymore. From what I gather 6 months ago they were playing local bars in Alabama. I ‘m sure all the young hip people have already heard of them but they have not played the old folks home yet.

The lead singer has a bit of Janice Joplin. And a little bit Al Green. See the next one.

And finally a catchy little tune.

I read their live show is pretty good.

A second Picture Album Post

The second stop was a city to the south, Dali. We had to take a crowded bus for about 4 hours through 2 lane mountain roads to get there. Everyone on this road drives like they are nuts. Getting there and back was the worse part of the trip. It is a nice area but much more “Chinese” than the coastal cities. So anyway another set of pictures for hours of pleasure.

A Picture Album Post

One of the reasons I started this was to put some of the pictures from our world travels (and if they hurry up, space) our where they can be enjoyed for hours by all. This is the first of those.

Last winter for the Chinese New Year we went to Lijang and Dali in Southwester China. (see the cool map below) This is an area much like Colorado and New Mexico except Dali is built on this huge fresh water lake sitting in the middle of desert mountains. Over on the right there is a photo gallery named Lijang that has picture from there. When you click it opens another window and you’ve see these below. If there is an i in the upper right hand corner that means there are comments associated with that picture. So for your consumption and I assume hours of pleasure   LIJIANG

First Post

As the title says this is the first post. You all have rights that will allow you to make posts like this and also add picture galleries and other stuff. To make a post click on the word YuSmith up at the top left hand corner and it will take you to the dashboard. From there you can do all the things you can do.Spell check highlights the bad word and right click gives options. Up in the right hand corner of the post screen is a help button that can take you to help for what you are trying to do. This works just like the big time internet blog things like butt pamphlet or what ever it’s name is.(you can do all the usual formatting stuff with the buttons above the post box)
You can insert an image like this:

Holy crap get me out of here this water is freezing

On the post screen there is an insert image (little camera) above the formatting buttons. put you picture where you want it and follow instructions. Plenty of help buttons around to help if needed.

You can do the fancy link to things by making the word or sentences links by highlighting the word and clicking the chain link button and putting the link in the book mark. Such as when Mary had to go meet with some head of a coal mine company it reminded me of this song that I had not heard in a long time.

Another way is like this: (Sorry China the above link and this are YouTube, talk to your government) (2017 edit – don’t know what was here so I’ll use this.)

I’ll be demonstrating other stuff in future posts. I the mean time check out the comments and make a few yourself. (Clicking on the post title takes you to the actual post page where you can get to the comment box) (For those of you that know how this works some of this stuff are for the Luddites out there, I’m talking to you Mary and Polly)
