Monarch Housing’s Blog!

Although this album - HOMELESS IN AMERICA Twenty-One Songs of Social Conscience for the 21st Century - by the Nashville Session Players was released several years ago, we have always enjoyed the music. In addition, the video provides a very good graphic overview of the current state not only of Homelessness in America but also in NJ.

To listen to the music click here. For more information on the album click here.

We just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the web pages and links. Any time you roll your mouse over a link a Snap Shot will appear.

Sometimes Snap Shots brings you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out. Let us know what you think of this addition to Monarch Housing’s Blog.

Today is the last day of 2007 and this blog will be a year old tomorrow. We have posted including this article seven hundred and forty (740) posts.

As we age, we thought it might be good to share an overview of how to use the Monarch Blog effectively.

How to run a search?

On the top of the sidebar is a Google search engine. This will search this blog, the related Monarch Housing web site as well as the web.

How to look at a subject?

There are two ways to search from within the blog.

One is by using the categories that are sited in the sidebar. If you click on anyone of the names such as Project Homeless Connect it will take you to all of the posts on that subject.

Also, in the sidebar, there is a list of `tags’ which are subject codes. If you click on any of these labels, you will get all blog entries which are on this subject. The URL associated with any of these labels is a permalink. You can also click here to view the tag cloud. for example clicking on Continuum of Care will provide all posts with that tag.

How to view the photos?
