I am so glad to be a part of a blog.
Thank you Maria for getting us started!
gerri
Wow, Maria this is terrific. One question, is this a closed blog or open to the ether world so to speak?
Kathryn
Open to only our group for posting, but open for reading to others. What do you think? I've never done this or even blogged before!
I started my own blog at gardenhistorian.blogspot.com and the layout is different. Maria, you have set up some neat links that I don't know how to do. We'll talk!
I am going to start a post for the Kirpalu weekend. I am seriously thinking of going. How about it anyone?
Thanks, Maria, this is the first blog for me. Some music groups (Western Wind etc.) have lists which I'm on, which are sort of the same, but maybe not quite.
So we should just use this instead of email?
Sylvia
Glad you made it, Sylvia! I guess I would view this more as a resource page for us, where we could keep items we need -- although if you needed to start a new email thread on a particular topic, you should feel free!
I have a new topic - how do I start a new thread? I only see how to post comments on existing threads....
Sylvia
Sylvia, look at the uppermost top right corner. Do you see "New Post"? Click on that.
And how do I add to the book list?
Sylvia
Send me ANYTHING at all you want posted on the left side and I will be happy to get it up there for you!
