[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: tour of our blog chat?

[minh ha]

Lillie is right about the blog only sending the title of the post and
not the actual info inside of it. I understand that twitter had its
limitations and that's why I'm not a huge fan of it. But it's
important for us to reach out to as many people as possible. Blog
posts can be edited so you can go back any time and just add more
information. I'm sure all of us on KK can give you ideas on wy those
resources are so great. And if you ever need help with writing or
whatever, I'm always willing to write/contribute.

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
