Updates! Two Facebook pages for two titles, Nov. is voting month, more.

Hello out there! 

This the one of the BGAMUG Computer Club's social media options. Now we also have TWO Facebook pages. AND the website has been updated too.

Here is the original Facebook page (join if you are not there yet): The BGAMUG Computer Club - and here is the second page: The Bowling Green Microcomputer User Group page. We voted to change our name, but it is not official yet on our paperwork. So mostly, I try to share what I see on ONE page to the other lately. They are "linked" pages. I have not figured what this can mean for each group - yet.

Off to another subject: Have you considered an Officer position for next year? NOW is the time to let me or another Officer know if you want to submit a name for consideration. We have had people already say they want to step up. ALL of the positions are open until the election. The more people we can get to do this, the better the Club can be and the more FUN events, etc. we can do.

I will still be helping, MAYBE as somebody helping with new members.

AND I will be sharing with the group my TIPS for creating a Take Action group on Facebook. I hope you will really like this Presentation.

We'll see if Jerry will also be presenting about his Alexa (?) machine.

I hope everyone is doing well! I will try much harder to post here, at least once a month or so. Yes, I know, if wishes were horses...

BGAMUG Newsletters - fun and educational, easy to download too.

Have you tried reading an issue of BGAMUG News?

The newsletters have fun articles in them, plus some great computer tips too.

The older BGAMUG Newsletters have good information in them, and BGAMUG has a Newsletter Archive page where people can download the newsletters, print them out, read them online, or use the PDF in an E-book reader.

Anyone can download them with no problems.

A Newbie's Guide to Facebook from Cnet News

I like this Newbie guide I found today.

Here is the link:
The Newbie's Guide to Facebook

It goes through the steps for joining Facebook and explains how to adjust your privacy settings too. This article also tells you how to add friends, your photo, and more.

It's a winner of an article.

If you are in the BGAMUG Computer Club, they have a Facebook page now. Here is how you can go there:
(just click the link: Go to the BGAMUG Facebook Page). After filling in your information, (or logging in) you can add the BGAMUG page by clicking on the "Become a Fan" button at the top.

There you have it! You can now access all the postings, AND you can post your own Wall Postings under the Fans section. There are 14 members there so far. If you add yourself, you can make it 15!

Let me know how it goes.

Video about FREE computer classes (Word, Excel, The Internet on a Mac)

Hi BGAMUG group!

I had a video link here that told about some upcoming computer classes that are FREE at the Bob Kirby branch, but it got taken off by the TV station at the source.

Tina Brewster will be giving classes in Word, Excel, and going on the internet for Mac users. I would think that all computer users could benefit by the class, if just to see how a Mac works.

Sign up before going to each class. This Thursday's class is already full, and so might the other class. Class attendees will bring their own USB mouse.

Thanks for stopping by!
