Oh, boy, this is SO exciting! Things are ticking right along! People are subscribing, both to the announcements and to the RSS feed, and event listings are coming in from Sydney to Gagetown, NB.* Shari MacLeod of Red Twig Brown Twig even wrote a post about us on her beeeoootiful blog! Thanks, Shari! I've spent an inordinate amount of time on this over the past little while,** so it's gratifying to see it that it's apparently been time well spent.
The site's been live for less than 24 hours and I've already started making changes, of course. I worked my graphics-fu and designed the new banner image you see up there at the top of the page. What do you think? I used the same picture to create a new badge for the site that people can slap on their own pages in order to link back here (it's over in the sidebar), and it's also in the slideshow I added to the Home page early this morning. I've also been adding new things to the Links page -- but have still only barely begun to scratch the surface of the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. That's going to be an ongoing labour of love, I can tell, and will quickly need to be broken down into separate pages by category 'cause there are just so many great sites out there!
I'm all keen to keep working (can you say "binge"?) but it's time I was off to help my six year old niece hunt for Easter eggs. :)

* I LOVE that events are coming in from outside Cape Breton! Keep 'em coming, folks - let's fill that calendar right up! There's SO much going on in this region that we all want to hear about!
** Srsly, an inordinate amount of time. I've been up past 5:00 the past two nights and I'm not too proud to admit that, until I got in the shower just now, I'd been wearing the same shirt since last Thursday.
