Blogging in the new world

I imagine some of you have wondered where I've been. Not only was I on the road touring for the new Sweet Magnolias trilogy, but in my absence this blog has moved into a whole new world. Apparently it's one in which my brain doesn't function!

It has taken me a lot of time to figure out how to login, much less post. I'm assured that now that I've mastered that much, life will get easier in blog-world. There are advantages to the change, though up to now you couldn't prove it by me. My very patient web guru, Cissy Hartley, has walked me through all the steps...a lot. One advantage is that this blog is now operated as part of my overall website, which gives me more control over things, and we all know how much I love control.

It also has advantages for you. You will no longer have to have a gmail account to post comments. You can register to participate and create your own account --over on the right-hand side of this page, preferably with a password that you can actually remember. I thought I'd done that till I tried mine and discovered that some little necessary bit of punctuation had slipped my mind. Thanks again, Cissy.

So, I'm back at home, the justbetweenfriends blog is back in business and, believe me, there is plenty to talk about. Sign up, chime in whenever you can, and I will try not to disappear again. Stay tuned for my thoughts on sexual harassment in the work place as it relates to Sweet Tea at Sunrise. And if you've read the book, be thinking about whether you think Travis ever crossed a line in his pursuit of Sarah.
