Thanks, everyone. And thanks to Kathleen for pointing out that creating a FB group page is for publicity/visibility issues. <div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I love FB in ways I would never have imagined a year ago-- when I actively resisted signing on. It's a pleasant to surprise to discover how much FB teaches me about Web 2.0.<div>
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>SO-- if there are no further questions, concerns, or conundrums to consider, I will go ahead and work on the group page this weekend. Also, if anyone would like to co-administer the FB page, please let me know.</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks again and wishing you all safe travels and adequate funding to/for SF and CCCC,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Susan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Susan and all, hello from sunny Las Cruces.<br>
<br>
My comments are in line with Bill, except that my facebook usage is<br>
nonexistent rather than desultory.<br>
<br>
Daughter Katie recently sent some user points on protecting privacy on<br>
facebook accounts--I'm assuming that we'll be fine, as we're going for<br>
publicity rather than privacy.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Susan, for this idea. kb<br>
