Hello world! October 17, 2006

This blog is an experiment in using a blog approach to post information about what is new on our website.  WordPress.com is one of many options for individual free blogging accounts.  In the future we hope to plug in blogging technology into our website, but in many ways for the reader it really doesn’t matter as it is just a matter of a web address that we can link to from a web page.  The blogs that we will eventually feature on our website are those that are related in some way to the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge or the Tamarac Interpretive Association.

The one neat characteristic of this blogging approach is that is more interactive.  With each posting you have the opportunity to comment, and others can read the comments.
