Friends and Family:
Junebugg's Website -

I really got started on the 'Net with iVillage, a community for women. It has message
boards and chats on hundreds of subjects. However, this year for
reasons
that have more to do with profit and less with dealing with old
software, both the board and chat formats changed, and for the worse,
in
my opinion. I have gradually cut down my involvement with iVillage, but
here are the places I still haunt:
The
Crafters' Community
The First Time
Moms Message Board
The Harry
Potter Fans Message Board
The Science
Fiction and Fantasy Message Board
Here are some organizations I support
or am involved with:

books into the wild!
