How about a central location with everyone's blog addresses and a short blurb to let everyone else know what kind of things are on the blog.

Hello Sharon, I have been doing more PLOS samples. Apart from the grasses, I am pleased with this one. And I learnt from the grasses anyway.

Sharon, some of 'my friends' want me to set out a design module. I have all the material from my teaching days but wondered how best to display it on the website. Photos on my page or in one of the headings. Maybe you could advise please ? I must admit I dont find my way around the website too easilly yet !

Sharon,

I am curious... I see you are from Canberra Australia. Did you go to Country Bumpkin's Beating Around the Bush in October? I have so many embroidery friends from around the world that attended. They all had a wonderful time.
I would have loved to have gone myself. All the best embroidery teachers from all over the world were there teaching. I just couldn't face 31 hours of airports and flighting time. It seemed like a very long way to go for just six days.
