Read How This Site Works

This web site of McMurdo’s Camp is really a Blog (weBlog). The software used, WordPress, allows Static Pages to be displayed in addition to the normal posts. POSTS are chronological entries much like a diary or activities log, with the newest on top. Older posts get pushed down and then off the bottom, where they go into “ARCHIVES” and continue to be available.

You will see the “PAGES” box at the upper right. Except for “POSTS” which are the chronologically ordered entries mentioned above, the pages are meant to stay the same, unless the author changes them.

The Front Page displays some of our heritage, and provides some background information on Birdy Edwards, who later became involved in an important case investigated by the famous British detective, Sherlock Holmes. The story is told in The Valley of Fear, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (See the PAGE, “The Scowrers”).

Other pages are added as appropriate, and named so readers can tell what they are.

An interesting feature of the blog format is that readers of McMurdo’s Camp can submit comments by using the box provided. The comments are reviewed by the blog author before they are published.  The Camp Office would like to hear from you.
