Thursday's Connections Abound

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The Lost and Found page is permanently located beneath this current post. Old Connections Abound can be accessed via the date or subject archives listed on the sidebar. Check the submissions page, FAQ, and ways to get involved for additional information. Email me at thetowncriers@gmail.com with any questions/concerns.

Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list).

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS

New:

• For those people who signed up to have Lost and Found sent to your email address: it only sends those entries that are newly posted. Therefore, you get the daily update, but the actual Lost and Found list (which contains only the messages to and from lost bloggers) is not sent since the url remains the same and the page is simply updated when I have news. Therefore, if you are looking for someone or you want to peruse information about bloggers who have listed information after going password protected, you'll need to go onto this blog in order to see it. If you want this post mailed to you daily, there is a space on the sidebar to enter your email address and you'll be added to the list.
• The Traveling DVD has begun...traveling. If you missed the Oprah show where Jenna spoke about infertility, you can sign up through her blog to have it sent to you.
• This blog: Confessions of an Infertile became this blog: Relaxing in the Parlor. Go visit Jitters at her new site (relisted from Lost and Found page below).
