Just want to let you know that I found this blog post very confusing to read. At first I thought there was just the tent picture and no text. Then I selected "breaking news" and "contests" and got nothing. Finally when I selected the "read more" text at the bottom I was able to read the post. Hopefully this is just a bug in the system and not the way that all posts will work.

Congrats to Ella! I LOVE the EZINE. I enjoyed the inaugural address and meeting Katie. I downloaded the quiz, printed a copy and stored away. Can't wait to put it to use. This is going to be so much fun! Leora

Hey, it's Tuesday and the eZine is wonderful! Congratulations on a great launch :) My favorite article is the one on photo editing - mainly cause that's where I need the most help right now (it changes, you know, depending on the season?) But everything looks good. Hope to win a printer, but just checking out the site is a pretty good deal. Thanks! Nina F

LOVED meeting Katie and my favorite article was the photography tips - I will be adding Photoshop to my computer this season (needed to get a new monitor) and am looking forward to making my colors pop!! Or adding text to my photos. Or any number of other things! The printer would be awesome!!! I don't have a photo printer so I'm forced to farm out my photos - PLEASE pick me!!!

I just browsed through the ezine. I must say that I love the ability to read the journaling by clicking on the layout! Good luck with your new launch, so exciting! (and yes, I could use a new printer!)

The eZine was super easy to navigate. Love the new site. Congrats to all of you.

Love the e-zine and can't wait to get a hold of some of the e-books. Thanks for the inspiration and boy...I could really use a printer : )

I like the whole vibe of this company. I like that the ebooks are beautifully designed, chock-full of useful information, downloadable, and affordable. The eZine has a great layout and fabulous information. I like the peanut ratings for the stories. Thanks for all your hard work!

Lain, Ella is amazing!!!! I LOVE it!! I've purchased 3 books, and plan to purchase more, they're great! Can we maybe have a little more time to download before the books expire? I've got 4 kids and my time is not my own! Thanks, congrats on Ella!! :)
