The Baker Street Blog

<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/724/187/1600/blac-06.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/724/187/320/blac-06.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><br /> <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 100%;">Welcome to the Baker Street Blog! We're poised to bring you news from the ever-changing world of Sherlock Holmes. Below are some pointers to help get you started.<br /><br /><strong>What's a blog?</strong><br />Well, we're assuming that you know the answer since you're already here. But, for the sake of those newer to this technology, let us explain. Briefly, a blog (short for 'weblog') is an online diary. It generally uses links to convey information. For example, you can read about </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog"><strong><span style="font-size: 100%;">blogs</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: 100%;">.<br /><br />This blog is designed to bring you up-to-date information on happenings with the world of Sherlock Holmes - goings-on with the Baker Street Irregulars (including the BSI Weekend festivities and publications), Sherlockian societies, entertainment and multimedia news, as well as links to other Sherlockian sites of interest.<br /><br /></span><br /> <h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><strong>Comments</strong></span></h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><em>"I listen to their story, they listen to my comments..." [STUD]</em><br /><br />Each entry on this blog is enabled with a "comment" feature. We encourage you to make comments - to make corrections, add information, or provide useful information of your own. You may also <strong><a href="mailto:ihearofsherlock@gmail.com">email us</a></strong>.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span> <h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Titles</b></span></h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><i>"...the jovial title..." [VALL]</i><br />You may notice that every blog post has a subtitle with a quote. These are phrases that were used in the 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, along with the four-letter abbreviation that refers to the story from which the quote came. You can find<b> <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/p/title-abbreviations.html#.VW-woM9Viko" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the key to these abbreviations here</a></b>.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span> <h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><strong>Technical details</strong></span></h4> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><em>"...a small wooden shelf full of books, mostly of a technical character..." [SPEC] </em></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;">We have provided an RSS subscription option. A </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_reader"><strong><span style="font-size: 100%;">feed reader</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: 100%;"> (or news aggregator) will allow you to subscribe to our site and be notified when it changes. Google has an excellent page on </span><a href="http://news.google.com/intl/en_us/news_feed_terms.html"><strong><span style="font-size: 100%;">feeds</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: 100%;"> - what they are and how to use them. Basically, it's a way of telling you that the page has been updated without requiring you to visit our blog to find out. The Google page above will lead you to a number of pages of feed readers, </span><a href="http://blogspace.com/rss/readers"><strong><span style="font-size: 100%;">such as this</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: 100%;"> and </span><a href="http://www.hebig.org/blogs/archives/main/000877.php"><strong><span style="font-size: 100%;">this</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: 100%;">. Versions are available for many operating systems. </span> One excellent news aggregator is <b><a href="http://reader.google.com/">Google Reader</a></b>. It's free and easy to use. If this all confuses you, here's a great video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU&feature=player_embedded"><b>RSS in Plain English</b></a><br /> <br /> <center> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0klgLsSxGsU" title="YouTube video player" type="text/html" width="480"></iframe></center> <br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 100%;">If you would rather receive an email update, we accommodate that too. The box under the 'Subscribe' button above is a way to get updates via emails. We'll only send you emails as frequently as we publish - at most one a day.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"></span><br /> <br /> Good luck as we begin this journey together. If you can think of ways to improve the site, or have other suggestions for the technically-challenged, please send an email or post a comment.<br /> <br /> --
