The feedback has been that it was difficult to navigate and that it required membership before you could access the site. As a result, not many people joined the site. I have also been experimenting with some blogs for my other business as well as twitter. I find them very user friendly and I have discovered some businesses that do not have a website, but communicate to their clients via a blog. It makes total sense. Communication is a two way thing. A blog allows for interaction and since it is easy to navigate, it allows for everyone to follow the latest news and events that are available to all: A Touch of Lace students and friends.<br />Please visit often to be kept up to date on our monthly events schedule.<br />You may already know that we have a Lace and Chat every second wednesday of the month at Manon's on Britannia Plaza. Any lacemaker is welcome to join us over coffee and chocolate! Just bring your pillow and your recently completed (or uncompleted) projects, get some advise, some help and some good conversation and enjoy the afternoon.<br /></span>Ghislainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02410842077197613774noreply@blogger.com1
