Reviving the Blog

Well, I guess it's time we get with the times and revive our blog.

We started this several years ago, and honestly, I still cannot figure out the appeal of blogs. Why does anyone care what I think unless perhaps they know me?

As the editor and publisher of Birmingham Parent, though, perhaps I can share information that comes to me because of my position with the magazine. If that IS of interest to folks, I'm all about it. And of course, I will throw in "my two cents" from time to time, while I hope you will throw in YOURS.

Please follow us and talk to us and other parents here! We want your input, and hopefully, we'll become a better magazine and all of us more informed.
