Lou: this looks fabulous - can't wait to start investigating all these resources. As for me, I am still resistant to 'social networking' although it seems a natural for my personality type. I do belong to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, ASMP, ASPP, Women in Film, Women in Photography - but I rarely write anything due to #1. lack of time, #2. adverse to creating even more clutter, and #3. I'd rather read poetry than other people's laundry lists. a kiss and a hug to you, and thanks,

This is a very useful resource. I'm putting it use as soon as the period hits the end of the sentence.
