I'd be so grateful if you could have a look here and tell me what you want from a proper site when I am finally released from the bondage of this godawful blogware. I am not, as you may already have noticed, very technically adept so I'd appreciate absolutely as much help as I can possibly get. What do you want the chapters to be? What's actually important when you're starting off?  Or even before? Thing is, because this was just a wee blog when it started, I've just grown it organically but now we need to do some, er, pruning...

Weird, eh? I'm not sure, to be honest, that any baby would be eating enough rice at the beginning to do them much damage but hey, I'm not a biochemist.

The Guardian

I've always said it was my favourite kiddie mag. Actually, it's the one I first found out about BLW in so I really mean that.

Anyway, I'm really chuffed, there we are under the headline 'Get Weaning Right'... really pleased. Who'd have thought when I started a silly wee blog over a year ago that we'd be getting magazine coverage?

If you look to the right in the Comments section Sandra has typed some of it up, I'll do the rest shortly but right now I simply must do some work. There is also some discussion of it on the forum as well.


Ladies, we are part of a movement now.  How unbelievably cool is that? We're a Thing...

The one with yours truly in it? I was wanting to scan my copy in but Babybear has gone and ripped it, the little rotter...

It's here, and it's officially The Worst-Kept Secret In Town...

We put it up a couple of days ago and some of you have been testing it out for us. There are still things needing to be ironed-out, lord knows, but I thought I'd tell you about it anyway.

Thing is, as you've probably noticed we keep going over our band-width every month, which results in the site being innaccessible for anything up to a week. I've begged and pleaded so we weren't shut off this time, but we are under Strict Instruction to sort it out by the end of September. Consider us told, Mr Internet Man.

If we move the chat to a forum, temporarily based on some other webspace I have, then we will save on bandwidth here. I'd really appreciate it if you could still post comments on here, though. Particularly the Polls and FAQ bit, because I really think that's building up towards being a fantastic resource of all our many and various experiences.

But for anything that might go onto Random Thoughts, or to celebrate breakthroughs or have right old moan about mothers-in-law and their unceasing ability to spoon-feed behind our backs, come to the forum. Please. [needy icon]
