I think that all of these avenues can be good for ALHN because each one appleals to different people as the previous comments suggest. I do have a facebook page for one of my counties and it has over 7 thousand members. They continue to be a great resource for me. I also have a regional blog. Woodpress offers more options to create a more web page looking site, but Blogger is really easy for a begginer. Jim, I am really glad that you are here. I am not fond of the current format for Florida, but hopefully we can find a volunteer to take it. I also think having some information about getting started as a volunteer is a good idea.
