In Response to Lizardmom's Challenge

It would be really great to see some blogs from the more elusive readers or new folks.

I love reading posts by our regulars, but in truth, we get a little burned out too. The more people posting, the more interesting it is to visit and read here. You may feel that no one cares what you have to say. Not true. I think all of us who do post on a regular basis are amazed that anyone would want to read our stuff..... And, if posting still feels too daunting, please drop in some comments when you read to inspire our "poetic juices."

It might be a little while before the stats come together this month, work has been brutal. So, here is the poop: It is EASY to post a blog. (article, story, whatever you want to call it)

If you can write an email, it is pretty much the same thing. You can even preview before publishing it or easily make changes once you have published it.

First, if you are new, you must send an email to jtirregulars@jtirregulars.com and say you want to post a blog. (be an author) One of us, the sheriff, will send you an email back. (make sure to check your spam too if you don't see it) You click on the link within that email and confirm you are a human and you want to become an author.

When you come to the JTI website, you will then have the option on the top toolbar to post a new blog. Login and click New Post. It is very easy. If you have problems, email us back and we will help you through them. We had to learn too when we first started.

As for what to blog, the sky is the limit, but we don't want spam or trash or advertising (unless you give us free stuff) ;> Tell us what is on your mind. Write about some place you have visited. Tell a joke, share a youtube. Post a crazy news story. Share a cool picture or your favorite song. Tell us about good service or bad service from a local merchant. Simply share and have a good time. Please, give it a try. You won't be sorry.
