Hello, this is Florence Henderson. Thank you for your interest in The FloH Club, where technology is simple! I am so excited to have this opportunity to speak with you through my very own blog. I had been hearing about blogs for a while but didn't know exactly what they were. Well, a blog is a journal that is published on the Internet. Just like a traditional journal, a blog is updated frequently. At first, I thought "blog" was such a funny word. But now I understand it is an abbreviation of "Web log," or a running record presented on the World Wide Web. That made sense! I had to laugh, because we used the same idea to come up with the name for The FloH Club: "FloH" is a shortened version of "Florence Henderson."
My goal for this blog is to share my own experiences with computers and my growing knowledge of technology. I am eager to pass along information I learn that might also be helpful to you. After you read my words, please feel free to add your own comments. And check back often for new entries! Over time, we will develop a collection of useful facts about computer technology that can be searched for reference. Topics might include news about The FloH Club, common technology terms, computer hardware and software, peripheral devices, the Internet, communication, entertainment, accessibility, and troubleshooting. Please don't worry if you don't recognize all of these words right now. We'll get to that! My philosophy is, "Let's learn together!"
Talk to you again soon.

I just heard about your site on twitter from @AgeWiseLiving RT@FenwayMedical: This is a wonderful concept and I wish you, and just as importantly, the people who take advantage of your services, good luck.
Sixty-seven, single, and hooked!(on twitter.) I went to an 'Integrating Media' conference in Little Rock, AR and it really helped me over-the-hump so to speak. I was quite obviously the oldest in attendance and intimidated by all the tech-speak & abbreviations. In his presentation, one man referred to himself as old - he was born in 1962! I could easily be his mother.
Go for it guys and gals!
CAUTION: It's addicting. You can carry on a conversation with people from all over the world!!
I'll do what I can to spread the word. You can see me at www.twitter.com/ARhomehelper
