New
Basketmakers Journal
The world wide web has changed markedly since the beginning of
BasketMakers.com back in 2001. A new lexicon of web technologies has developed
since that time and in hopes of staying current I have been working intently on
a variety of means to keep you up to date on the news of the basketmaking
community. I have also been working on extensions of the main site onto
YouTube,
Google Calendar and
Flickr.
Stay tuned. I will welcome your feedback on these new features. Add the posts,
the comments or both to your feed reader by choosing "Subscribe to" on the right
column of the journal.
