I have created a facebook fan page and a Twitter account for the NBFTA. All postings will now be distributed to them automatically. The links are in the ‘Follow Us’ column on the far right.

Site Interruption – All systems back to normal.
I checked this site today and noticed that it was not functioning properly. Somehow the underlying software corrupted. I installed the newest version of it and now all is working fine.
Forestry In The News
I spend quite a bit of time reading about local forestry issues, so thought it would be a good idea to create a new feature on the site called ‘Forestry In The News’.
The way it works is random local news links appear at the top of the page each time it is loaded. You will have the choice of whether to click the link. Further, if you do not want the newswire to appear at the top, click the 
located in the upper-right corner of the page. This will close the feed down.
I have purposely set this feature up in such a way so that there will be no commentary allowed on the articles. If you want to comment then follow the link to the source of the article and comment there.
Email Subscriptions
If you registered for the RSS subscription service that I talked about in the email I sent out then you will have to do it again. I screwed up when setting it up. I have enclosed the sign up form in this post. Alternatively, you can sign up by using the box located to the right. Simply enter your email address in the text box and click the ‘Subscribe’ Button.
If you do not know what I am talking about, this service will deliver all new blog entries once per day is there is activity on the blog during that day. This will help keep you informed of NBFTA activities in a timely manner.
Once you sign up, you will receive an email that has a link in it asking you to confirm your email address. This is to prevent spam attacks and false sign-ups.
Thanks
