jazzy, we respond to questions and blog to welcome new members

Hello,

I don't know if I quite understand the concept of the blog. Is it to rewpond to articles or to interact as a blogging group?

Thank you!

Please vote for me: http://www.cmt.com/interact/music_city_madness/vote/bracket.jhtml?quad=1

Thank you.

Hey thanks for welcoming me and the Peak City Film Festival to the site. Is this sort of like the e version of the welcome wagon that use to show up every time we moved to a new town back in the 60's and 70's?

Don and I will be in Wilmington this coming weekend (Sept. 4th through the 6th).

Could someone else do the WW for me on Saturday?

I'll check back here during the week, to see if anyone can do it.

Thank you!

:-)

Beth

I have a question about cleaning up my blogs. After they have been there awhile, can I delete some of them so the list isn't as long? Please let me know on my profile page if you would. Don't like a lot of stuff on my desk either. Thanks :)

Thank you for the welcome. Didn't know I had any comments. lol

I agree Angela. Javajoe's tutorials are amazing.

JAVAJOE!!! That tutorial is unbelievable. I added it to the GOLO HElp section. Thank you so much. What a pleasant surprise. -Angela
