» dlstang - Welcome...

...to Suite101. This is a great first article, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

Just one suggestion...you might want to consider adding some paragraphs in your article so that it is a little easier on the eye. You can double space between paragraphs by doing it manually or by using HTML code.

Anyway, welcome and good luck!

» jerrib - Where have you been?

This is a great topic for folks! I'm going to be doing some historical writing (already do a bit at my site on WA State here) - looking forward to learning from you.

Look forward to coming back for more!

» Rev_Cheree - Great first article!

Welcome to Suite101, Julia! I enjoyed your first article. My mother is writing a book on her family history, so this will be an excellent topic for us to revisit. Look forward to reading more from you. Keep up the good work!

» juliakb - Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm very excited to be heading up this topic. It is my hope that this will be a learning experience for everyone. I know it will be quite a learning experience for me...just figuring out how to incorporate Macintosh quirks with html goodies should be fun!

I've got a years worth of topics figured out, but if there's something that you would like to see right away, feel free to drop me an e-mail.

Here's to history in the making!

» George_G - Towns are often as interesting as people are

An article or history about a town does not have to tell EVERYTHING about it. For example, I have written several articles that exemplify small-town life in Imperial, Calif., before and during World War I.

They are:

My Father Is Expelled from High School (http://www.Themestream.com/articles/7623... )

The Runner With Only One Shoe
(http://www.Themestream.com/articles/5349... )

Many a Glorious Morning
(http://www.Themestream.com/articles/5342... )

The Strike at Imperial High School
(http://www.Themestream.com/articles/5718... )

You all are welcome to click over and see what I am talking about!

Your friend,
George
