A few announcements from Bethany

Hello to all our friends - and hopefully a few new readers who have been brought in by the idea that Jim and I are gong to post a lot more of our personal "journey" on this blog.

This has been a very busy couple of weeks for me. Between August 1st and today, I have left home five separate times, each to a different location. I have not been home more than three nights straight since August 2nd... Some of the trips were personal (two trips to visit two different kids) two were professional (one to the large adult Internet conference in Florida and a second to a potential new movie client) and this last was a very important one as JIm and I traveled to a new community, making a final commitment to move there to take a new a job. Very scary!

In this time, Jim was out of town for a week to a medical conference - I feel like I've hardly seen him since August 1. Of course, he's seen ME enough to give me the spanking described in my previous blog post, but still...

Anyway, I wanted to update folks on something I've been meaning to do for a long time, and that's re-activating our advice column. I know people love this - we can see from our traffic stats that in spite of the fact it has not been updated in a very LONG TIME, it's one of the most "hit" page in our entire free area.

We have a few questions that people have sent over the last few months. It will be our goal to do a "Bethany says, Jim says," response to these questions. If anyone reading this HAS a question, please send it to me at:

herwdshed@mac.com

and put "Advice Column Question" in the subject line! We can't promise we're the authorities - (What a scary thought! Authority on Domestic Discipline!) but we'll try our best.

Also, I'd like to just make a really important comment about, well, the comments. Right now, basically, our blog commenting section is NOT working correctly. You can leave comments, and read comments, but very often, the fact that there are comments POSTED is not showing up properly. For example, associated with Jim's last post, there are several comments, but the blog itself still says "O comments." We don't know why and we are working to fix this. But in the meantime, check out the comment link - because there are comments there - and feel free to leave one yourself.
