Hi, I do have to admit I have had some experiance with windows live spaces but... this just looks so easy, plus the friend links look more fun. So, here we are in our infancy. I have seen several people starting their blog and I just had to know I would have at least three friends on my list before I could talk myself into it. Lara I'm counting on you ;) And Jodi you will be suprized to know you were the pin on the balance. Cheers to you. And Laurel, you were the first to show me blogger and I loved the idea, thank you.
