giving kids the roots to help them sprout

What's New?

Yesterday I received an email from one of our members who paid a really nice compliment about the new Root & Sprout format. If you've not yet had a chance to check it out, please do! And don't forget to subscribe to the feed while you're there. And comment on the posts. ;-)

She also asked if I could add some type of "forward to friend" function that would allow users to email posts. And just this morning, a Twitter link promising favorite WordPress plug-ins caught my eye. Of course I had to check it out!

Long story short, you all NOW have th capability of sharing posts with your friends as well as promoting them on a WHOLE SLEW of social networking sites and blog platforms. I really do encourage you to promote your favorite posts, especially your own that appear on Root & Sprout.

The "Share This" link appears at the end of each post. When you click it, a little pop-up opens. You can then use the arrow buttons located on either side of the box to scroll. Nova has tried it, and she says it's quite simple!

Go check it out!

Thanks!

It's a great way to link back to articles that we have written ourselves also and share at our other blogs, Myspace, Facebook, etc. I love it!

Happy Tuesday!; ▶ Reply to This
