Reinvigorating Our Blog!

At tonight's meeting, Mary Elizabeth invited all of her current members to add to our little blog. Since I haven't posted since February, I was a little embarrassed! So I ran drove right home to write this post.

I've added the four or five of you who gave me your email addresses as "authors" so that you can post recipes, hints, inspiration, photos, or funny stories to the blog yourselves. Look for an email inviting you and click as directed to "accept". Here is a link instructing you on how to add a post. If you have trouble, feel free to email me at lawsonch@maine.rr.com and I'll try to help you out. The blog is more fun when we all add to it!

You may want to scroll down and check out some the links and blogging tips on the right sidebar. You can also search for "recipes" etc. by typing into the "Search" box or clicking on one of the "Labels" on the sidebar.

See you next week!
