What is a blog?

Welcome to the Dorking Deanery Blog!

What on earth is a blog?
The word 'blog' is short for 'weblog'. It is an online diary or webpage where we can record our news and share ideas.

Why do we have one?
Deanery Synod meetings are a fantastic place to get information and share ideas, but often your best idea or burning question doesn't occur to you until you are in the car on the way home or when you are reporting back to your PCC. The blog will enable us to share ideas and questions between meetings. If there is something you want to say, simply find the relevant article and click on the word comment.

How do I find my way around the blog?
The articles (or 'posts') are displayed in chronological order. The best way to find your way around is to look at the topics menu on the right hand side of the page and click on the topic that interests you most. You will then see all the articles about that topic on your screen.

Is this a public website?
Yes. Anyone can find us by typing Dorking Deanery into google and anyone can comment on an article, so please do share it with people in your churches. However, only a few people will be able to write whole articles and the site will be closely monitored. I will be logging on regularly and removing any comments that are rude etc... If you see anything you don't like, please email dorkingdeanerywebmaster@gmail.com and I will address it as soon as possible.
