Fran Moreland Johns said… - Hi Virginia. I haven't figured out She Writes, but it's nice to have a friend. My problem is that there's not enough time to keep interesting things on my "Boomers & Beyond" blog on True/Slant.com (trueslant.com/franjohns), which is a paid job, and do a decent job with social network sites. I'm trying to learn how to do that. Happy New Year, happy writing. Fran
