Where Do All the Old Stories Go?
September 28, 2008
Don’t you just love to read new posts on the website? Everyone agrees – updated, fresh content is the best, and websites like ours are constantly changing, with news, notices and interesting stories posted every week. But if you haven’t visited TeamRKS.com before now, or have been away on vacation for a month, don’t worry that you might have missed something important…because it is still here!
We are keeping all of our past content accessible to you on our website. Here are three easy ways to review old stories, or posts, as they are called in the “blogosphere”:
- At the top of each page on TeamRKS.com is what is called a header, and in the header below the Robinson’s logo are two navigation bars. In the “black belt,” you’ll find links to Master’s Corner, RKS Kids!, School News, etc….Click on one of those, and you’ll be taken to a page that lists all the posts in that category, in chronological order, newest first, oldest last.
- Over in the right sidebar, you can find the same category shortcuts under Departments.
- If you prefer to look at posts in ALL the categories, but only during a certain month, in the right sidebar under Archives, click on a link for any of the months you find listed.
Not quite as easy is the Site Map for TeamRKS, which lists all the pages, all the posts, for all time! But you will find older posts from months long ago. You’ll find the link for the Site Map at the bottom right hand corner in the footer.
Don’t forget one more easy way to find content on TeamRKS.com – the search box at the upper right. Type in the word or phrase you want to locate, and click the blue “Go” button. Try it!

Timing is Everything
September 23, 2008
“Everything in life is about timing. Buy the ticket with the six winning lotto numbers on the wrong day, and you end up with nothing but a piece of paper, instead of becoming an instant millionaire. Jiu-Jitsu is much like life – if your timing is wrong, then even the best and most perfectly executed technique will fail.”
