Good news. Our new bloggers are getting active. Sara was the first to post a comment here. Kudos to Sara! You will see more (a minimum of 25 a week), too.

Also, the bloggers have started their own sites. And, by doing so - they are kicking off our newest project. Free blogs for PR practitioners, educators and students. Please visit PRblogs.org.
