New Community

The Truth Laid Bear has just finished up another round of updates and tweaks. And finally granted an old request. We now have a community page just for homeschoolers!

I added a few people just because I didn’t want to be the only person in there. If you would like to join the little community over there, check out the site and see what you think. Read the following guidelines and make sure you are ok with them. Then send me an email and let me know.

1) I would like this community to be predominantly about homeschooling. If your blog isn’t really about homeschooling, even though you homeschool, perhaps you could start a community? I understand, however, that homeschooling covers vastly more than books and lesson plans. If you have any questions, ask!

2) I generally favor discourse over exclusion. I do not view a community such as this the same as I view a marriage or a business partnership or church attendance. Therefore, I do not feel “yoked” to other participants. Inclusion of a blog is not an endorsement of every view of the applicant on any issue whether it be religious, child rearing, political or otherwise, nor is it an endorsement of the views of their blogging hosts, their blogrolls, their advertisers or anything else. It only means I checked out their site and from what I could see, they talk about homeschooling.

3) If you notice something that is inappropriate or offensive, please direct it to me privately and not in a public comment.

4) I only ask that you put a link back to the community page so that others will know that it exists and benefit from the updates. It is like having the front page of a newspaper just for homeschoolers! Find a nice place in your sidebar…I can help you with the code if you need it.

5) Other than that, all I need to know is your blogsite. You can leave it in comments or email me. Whichever you prefer. I’ll let you know when I add it, but TTLB can take a few hours to update, so be patient!

I have an image there, but for some unknown reason it is all squished and does not look nice. If anyone out there with some artistic talent…or with children who need something to do…would like to make a neat little button, that would be really cool.

Hope you like it! And to view my home page, click here.

    Can you sign me up? I didn’t see a way to do so at the community page. ??? How neat that they finally did this.

  2. Dana, May 26, 2006:

    Yep…they actually have you sign up through the administrator. But I’ll get it…updates take a few hours to show, but you should be able to see it some time this afternoon!

  3. Spunky, May 27, 2006:

    Thanks for adding me to the list. Thanks for starting it as well.

  4. Dana, May 27, 2006:

    What would such a community be without Spunky? It would lack spunk!

  5. Daryl Cobranchi, May 27, 2006:

    Don’t know if HE&OS qualifies, but I’d appreciate a look. Thanks.

  6. Melissa Wiley, May 27, 2006:

    Dana, great idea. Thanks for setting it up. Would you mind adding both my sites? Here in the Bonny Glen (http://melissawiley.typepad.com) and my new homeschooling blog at ClubMom, The Lilting House (http://liltinghouse.clubmom.com).

    Thanks so much!

  7. Andrea, May 27, 2006:

  17. Rachel Ann, August 30, 2006:

    could you sign me up as well? Here’s my new homeschool blog.

  18. Rachel Ann, August 30, 2006:

    I could have made it easier for you and included the url in the post and not just connected to my name…

  19. Dana, September 4, 2006:

    Rachel Ann, I couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment on your blog or how to email you, but I enjoyed your blog. I got you signed up for the TTLB community and you should see it come up tomorrow (Labor Day) sometime.

  20. Anonymous, September 18, 2006:

    Would you please add my homeschool blog? Thank you! Lisa

    Hello, I also have another blog I would like to add…

    http://homeschoolmomineasttn.blogspot.com/

  22. The Texas Bells, October 31, 2006:

    Can you add us to the community? http://www.thetexasbells.blogspot.com.
    The plan is to use the site to teach our children to speak up and express themselves. Our oldest is using it to learn HTML/XHTML (he’ll be our “webmaster”–LOL). There’s nothing there, yet. But, there will be sometime later today–starting with a map of the US my kids made on a twin size bed sheet!

    Now, my regular site doesn’t really qualify for the homeschool group, but I (aka Coach Mark) can be found at http://www.wednesdaysmuse.blogspot.com.

  23. Alasandra, December 11, 2006:

    Hi Dana, If Alasandra qualifies I would love to join.

  24. lindafay, December 30, 2006:

    Dana,
    Thanks so much for changing my url on the Homeschool blogroll so quickly.

    Would you also make the change on the Truth Laid Bear Homeschool community?

    Thank you,

  25. Firefly, January 16, 2007:

    Hi. When I signed on to your homeschool blogroll, it seemed my posts were showing up at the Homeschoolers’ Community at TTLB, so I assumed you had signed me up there. I haven’t seen any of my posts showing up there in a long time, though. Could you sign me up to the community? Thanks & God bless!

  26. Firefly, January 16, 2007:

    By the way my blog is Bioluminescence at http://www.fireflyplace.net

  27. At A Hen's Pace, January 25, 2007:

    I’d love to be part of the community. Maybe you’d need to evaluate whether I post often enough about homeschooling, as I do post about lots of other subjects as well. My readers perceive me as a homeschooling blog, though, and I just did a 4-post series on it. I also have contributed to the Carnival of Homeschooling a number of times.

  28. Heather (Sand Sea and School), March 26, 2007:

    Thanks!

  32. Jenni, June 4, 2007:

    I can’t find your e-mail address and this is my 3rd attempt to post a comment. Eh???

    I’d like to join the homeschool community.

    http://lobchatter.blogspot.com

    Thank you.

  33. Dana, June 4, 2007:

    Don’t know what is up with comments, but my email should be available through the profile link…which I may have inadvertently deleted now that I’m thinking about it. I’ll fix that, but I’m adding you right now.

  34. Dana, June 4, 2007:

    btw, should you return here, Jenni, I like your blog layout, but all the entries I click are completely blank. It may be a browser issue (I’m using Firefox). I would email you, but can’t find an email for you either. : )

  35. Renae, July 25, 2007:

    Dana,
    Would you please add Life Nurturing Education to this community? Also, please let me know the code to add the community page to my sidebar or where I can find it. My email is carrotribe@hotmail dot com (I couldn’t find yours.) Thanks!
    I’m starting to see where you find all the great posts. :)

  36. Denise, August 24, 2007:

  43. Dana, September 22, 2007:

    Everyone should be added up to this point. (Mostly a note for me!)

    Sallie, that is because only the administrator can add blogs, but you should be added now.
