Think of this site as a series of blogs and resource pages. The blogs, unlike blogs written by just one person are open to all. If you want to participate on the site as an author, the first step is to comment on a post. When you want to comment you will be asked to register your name and email. If your comment is approved, and/or you are known to Devva or Susan, you will be made an author. This will given you access to start a new thread and post freely.

The easiest way to find something on this site is by clicking on a resource page or blog under a specific category.  A tag will lead you to any posts that has been ‘tagged’ with that specific tag. All page names are also tag names.

We may find an easier/better way to do this, but this is what we have for the moment.

If you have resources to share or more pages you would like linked to our “Blog Roll” please do add them or send them to us at devva@earthlink.net.
