In memoriam

Last year, after AOL pulled the plug on J-land, I found these blogs belonging to the deceased which had been transferred to Blogger. In 2007, we lost too many of our community. In remembering those that went before us, we will gain strength from their memory and the fortitude they showed in adversity.

Returning to blogging

It's very pleasing to see so many familiar faces from the past returning to blogging. I'd like to highlight Kara, who has come back after an absence of 12 months.

Silent Keyboards

A reminder that a blog (Silent Keyboards, Jland and Blogger Angels) was created by Jeannette (Outside Looking In), commemorating those from the former J-land community who passed away. Please call round, and if there is anyone that died this year that did not get mentioned, drop a line (+ URL from blog if still in existence) and their name will be added.

Blog Opening

Michelle (who used to write as momiscool2 on AOL) has resumed blogging. Her new blog is called Hanging in Limbo, and she'd be only too happy for all to come and visit.

Blog Closing

Mary, who has the blog GIVE...A HAND UP, is closing the blog. Hope you stop by & tell her how much we are grateful for the time she had it, & how we support her & wish her well. She's also closing her personal blog.
