It's all over, there isn't anymore...

Well. The time has come.
But never fear! I will still update my new blog with regularity and the same corny jokes you've come to love (or something).
Farewell, Blogspot, hellooooo, Wordpress! See you on the other side!

Countdown: 3 Days

As promised, Monday will be the last day of this blog. I've started updating the new blog, so take a look!
Today is Friday, which means though this blog technically has three days of life left, I'll only be writing in it once more.
So go to http://www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens already!!

Countdown: 4 days

Just when I've gotten you used to a routine...
...it's time to change it up a little bit!!! Go here and donate a "virtual can of food". To do this, put in a name and e-mail address. If you're like me and don't want follow-up in your e-mail uncheck the box that says "Yes! Keep Me Informed!". Then you'll get three options. Click "volunteer." If Idaho gets more virtual cans of food than anyone by March 19, we get a free truckload of food! This is the real deal, people.
Then after you're done helping out the Idaho Foodbank, go to the website. You know, the gardening website. You can get recipes, learn how to start a community garden, and check out the maps and community calendar. http://www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens
Go on... you know you wanna...

Countdown: 5 days

You've read it all before.
You know the drill.
I've even started updating the blog on the new website. In case you didn't get that last link, here it is again. And here it is written out, in case either of those forms don't do it for ya: http://www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens
So go to it! It's waiting for you.... :)

Countdown: 6 days

Once again, I will soon be retiring this blog for the new one at the website. I even updated it today! Check it out!
Come Monday, March 8th, I won't write in this thing anymore. Go to the website, people!

Finally!

ATTENTION!

I'm proud to announce that the website is ready for your viewing and reading pleasure. Keep the URL www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens in the back of your brain. Browse, test out the links, visit often... I've proofread it many a time, but I'm sure I've missed some things, links are broken, etc. Enjoy! I'm very excited, and I think this will be a great central resource for community gardeners, local gardening organizations, and general gardening enthusiasts. I'm especially pleased with the embedded material. I know, I know, it's a little off-center, but I'm working on it. I've never embedded anything before then, so I'm actually pretty proud of myself. :)

In that vein, I will soon not write in this blog anymore. One more week and I'll be writing strictly in the blog on the aforementioned website.

In other fantastic news, we now have three bands booked for the Homegrown Hootenanny! This is going to be a great show, everyone!!

Hooray for BSU Service Learning!!

Good news, everyone! Sam Harmer's Public Relations class at BSU has decided to help me promote the Homegrown Hootenanny in May! I'm really excited to work with these students. From what Sam has told me, they're really on the ball and have helped out a lot of businesses in the past. I hope this will be fun for them! I would love to try out all kinds of crazy marketing techniques and generally have fun with it. They all seemed so enthusiastic and I'm really excited to hear what they have to say! Hopefully, this can also spread the word in the world of social media as well...
I'm up to 38 Facebook fans at this point, which is 5 more than a week ago. Sure, it's not like all of Boise is my Facebook fan, but I feel like this is really starting to take off. And with those students to help me... the sky's the limit!!! Wait and see!!
