Oogie's efforts recently have been above and beyond - not only has she designed a new banner and logo for guild, started new threads and a guild newspaper, reorganized the forums and redesigned our intro page, but she's shown that she really believes guild can be a great place for all of you if you want to use it.
Please do say thanks to her not just on her Gaia profile, but on her RL blog -
Chris Says What? - I subscribe to it and I think you should too.
For each of you: please drop by guild and let us all know how your summers are going. We really do want to hear how you're doing.
If you're really bored and killing time in Chatterbox, try keeping up with my reading group. It was a joy working with Oogie on Shakespeare and with Shattered Life mainly on Dickinson. We're working on Keats now and I honestly think that I'm giving instruction that would cost you thousands of dollars in tuition to get otherwise.
Things in guild are quietish, but it doesn't worry me. Alixyveth and a few others are keeping the threads going. I know we'll get through what seems to be a slow period and be dynamic again. If you open up and feel free to talk about yourselves, things in guild will go a lot better sooner.
