Where are the blogs?

[Mary A.]

Thanks, John, for answering here on the blog. I posed the question on the forum because email directed through the "contact us" link has not resulted in my receiving responses in the past. I know there are growing pains with the new site. Also there are probably not enough staff (perhaps due to budget issues?) to adequately handle email. It's no doubt a cart before the horse issue or maybe a chicken and egg problem - having enough funds to adequately staff a site such as this. But if you want to grow the site, there has to be sufficient support at all levels for the consumer to feel it is worthwhile to spend their money here. Otherwise members will not be recommending the site to others. I personally know of two others who are wavering right now as to whether or not they will renew their membership when the time comes. Personally I feel that the site has a lot to offer and will continue to support it with my membership.

P.S. It was great meeting and talking to you in Cedar Rapids this past summer.

She will be more of an answer moderator rather than the police.

Got that right, Rosemary! :woohoo: :woohoo: :whistle:

[John A.]

Our vision is to have the moderator hear what you need and find ways to make it work on the forum and community areas. She will not be there to pursue or police topics (unless this becomes an issue).

I still don't see the blogs; am I missing something?

[John A.]

The Member blogs are going to be ready soon. Sorry for the delay. We have had membership issues we had to jump on first.

[John A.]

Hi, I'm the new moderator and I'm scanning Recent Topic threads to see if there are any questions to answer when I can or refer to Bob and John. You can always send me a private message, too, if you want to get my attention sooner.

Where are the members' photos that were uploaded to Ricky's classroom project, Lady of Shalott?

I miss the blogs and keeping up with everyone. I decided to blog on blogspot in the meantime. I'm working on finishing a Christmas tablecloth. The address is:

Please ignore my signature below. I've tried to remove or edit it but had no success.

[Mary A.]

Anyone listening out there?

[Eileen K.]

I think they're working on them behind the scenes.

[Eileen K.]

Yes, that's being woked on.

I have a new blog post at

I, too, am really missing the member blogs! Sure hope you get it up and running soon! Guess I will have to settle for Facebook for a while!

[Jo H.]

Thanks. I miss the blogs. Glad to hear they will someday come back. This new web site was a really big job to undertake (but I was used to the old one!)
