Report
6. Dawn Collins gave a report on the Guild's Blog.
a. Last month our Blog had 303 page views.
b. Last month we had views from Canada, Russia, Switzerland, U.S.A., France,
Spain, U.K., Ireland, Ukraine and Venezuela.
c. There are still 20 invitations to join the Blog that haven't been accepted.
They've all timed out so Dawn will resend the invitations as well as send
invitations to our 3 new members.
d. The months that never made it to the blog during the 2 year hiatus, are slowly
getting done. Unfortunately the dates at the top of the posts are correct
but the posts are filed into the date it was posted. Dawn asked the members to
review the posts and fill in missing information and any corrections
required. All information is gladly accepted.
e. Dawn explained about the search feature she has instituted via the
labels applied to each post. Quilters may enter their name and will be
shown all the posts in which their name is attached.
