Blogging 101

The Retreat blog has been "up" a while now and we are getting quite a few visits. For those of you who are new to blogs I wanted to let you know that you can leave a comment. At the bottom of each post it says "comment", just click on that and a box will pop up where you can write a comment or message. If you want to read what others have commented (there will be a number after "comment" if anyone has left one) again, just click on "comment".

I have heard from a couple of former teachers. Judy Dales writes "I enjoyed looking at the photos you sent. It was indeed a fun time at Pictou. I remember it fondly. Thanks for sending the memories!" Judy has her own Retreat in Northern Vermont - check out her website for more information.

I have also heard from Heather Stewart, who writes, "I had a look at the site and I am very impressed! You certainly have put a great deal of thought and effort into it." Heather will be teaching in Nova Scotia again this fall in Dartmouth, Mahone Bay and Liverpool.

I am still loking for pictures from the first Retreat - Roberta Horton and Terrie Hancock Mangat were the teachers that year. If you have any either email them to me as an attachemnt or if you can't do that send me an email and we can arrange something.

Be sure and bookmark the Retreat blog so you can check back easily and often for updates, news and pictures.
