A Small Maryland Town Can Post Notices Electronically and They Can Do It for Free

Welcome to Oysterback, Maryland, population 43, on the flat, marshy and scenic Eastern Shore. We have a 17-member Town Council.
We don't have a municipal Web page, in fact, we don't even own a computer. But Cousin Becky said we should be putting our meeting notices on-the-line.
Use to be we put the 3x5 card up at the Acme next to the jonboats for sale. Everyone knew to look there to see the day, time, and place we planned to meet. Since we don't have a Town Hall, that's important.
People could get confused between whether we'll meet at the Crab Alley or at Newt's Tavern. I must say meetings at Newt's are generally better attended and certainly more lively.
Anyway, Cousin Becky says that way we don't get in trouble over the Maryland Open Meetings Act. We can put our meeting notice, our minutes, and our closing statements for when we have secret things to talk about.
So I did what Cuz Becky suggested and found "blogger.com". Now I thought a "blogger" was one of those fellas from Sussex County who goes out in the marsh after frogs, but Becky tells me no.
Anyway ... picked out a name and then I clicked on a template they called "Scribe," which is pretty close to "Secretary." Although Secretary is a different Eastern Shore town and should not be confused with Oysterback, which it isn't pretty close to at all. That's not by Accident. Accident's way out west, not on the Eastern Shore at all. Secretary's in Dorchester County. Though speaking of accidents, the Suicide Bridge Restaurant is in Secretary. Why the secretary committed suicide is a long story best left to another time.
And then I started typing in this box.
There was some other stuff about setting up an account with a password, I did that over the weekend, and it wasn't very hard either.
So that's it for the first posting on Oysterback's Town Council Blog.
