I'll keep this as a front post, but will close comments in a few weeks' time - to thwart spammers. <a href="http://call-for-support.blogspot.com/">Call for Support</a> remains open for business, if and when required. <br />
<br />
J-land was a wonderful community. It gave support to many (myself included) in difficult times, and friendships which continue (on- or off-line) today. The spirit of the community continues through blogs, Facebook and other social networking sites. <br />

A lot of people have taken up accounts with Facebook, Twitter and other social networking websites. A lot of bloggers have ceased writing blogs.<br /><br />In order to keep in touch, I have this idea. Anyone who writes a blog, put your Facebook and Twitter links up in your blog sidebar. I am aware that you have to be "friends" to communicate through Facebook, but if you put your bloglink in your friend request, that may make it easier. If you are in touch with someone who no longer blogs, point them to this entry as well.<br /><br />Let's pull Jland back together.ADBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17737746983905368038noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114551406908179294.post-11372100421974593062009-08-09T12:30:00.001-04:002009-08-09T12:30:54.879-04:00Sybil<a href="http://sybil-dayintheifeofsybs.blogspot.com/">Sybil</a> has returned to the land of blogging, please call round to welcome her back!ADBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17737746983905368038noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114551406908179294.post-60202112230087594082009-08-03T18:09:00.005-04:002009-08-03T22:43:42.755-04:00ANY INFO ON THIS J-LANDER?<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:arial;" ><strong>Does anyone know how Lisa is?
