OPENING POST

this is the opening post for:
"ALL ABOUT DAVID"
a memorial blog for my long-time friend

david steeves

there will be much more later but at the moment i am just trying to set it up.
this is my first blog so i picked the easiest format and will work from here.
hopefully i will be able to master blogging quickly
and will add photos, cards and stories.

POSTING:
one of the reasons why i am making this blog
is so that david's friends can send me their memorabilia.
comments are easy enough to add directly to the blog.

photos and other items
can be sent to me by email,
or write me for my postal address and telephone numbers

this blogsite's official address is:
http://DavidSteeves.blogspot.com/
