What's New

I updated the blog by eliminating the individual locations for each meeting date and placed that information at the top of the schedule. This presents a streamlined meeting schedule which is easier on the eyes.

I also added a translation application so that people who prefer to read the blog in a different language can easily view it. Whether or not you are bilingual, give it a try. We are going International!

I inserted a contact link where Jordon's Twelve members or people browsing our blog can contact me via email with questions or other pertinent information. This link will direct emails to jordonstwelve@gmail.com and I will be able to check this email address daily.

There is now a follow link that allows members and people to subscribe to our blog and in return they will receive email notifications whenever there is a new blog entry. If you wish to take advantage of this, it's a one-time verification process where you insert your email address in the box below the words "Follow By Email" and click submit. You will go through a quick verification process to ensure the subscription is not spam and then you will receive an email with a signup link.

If you have your own blogs or websites that you would like promoted on Jordon's Twelve, I also added a space at the bottom where we can add personal blogs and websites. Just provide me with your blog or website addresses.

I took into consideration what would happen if we ever received a number of additional members wishing to join the group. The first thought would be that we couldn't function as an effective bi-monthly writers group operating in a two-hour window if say, the group suddenly consisted of fifteen members. If that ever did become a reality, I would propose that we continue to function as we do today but just break up into two or more groups. There is plenty of room where we meet at MCC so this would not be a problem.

If there is anything else you would like to see on our blog or if you have any other concerns or issues, please contact me. Try out the "TO CONTACT JORDON'S TWELVE" link and send me an email where it says "Email me!"
