An experiment…

Me, pondering how best to nurture and maintain our small-but-glorious-and-burgeoning Wright History community

As some of you know, I’ve spent many woman-hours pondering how best to nurture and maintain our small-but-glorious-and-burgeoning Wright History community.

As we announced last week, we’re experimenting with a Facebook business page. I am, however, mindful that not all of you are on Facebook. With the best will in the world (and I trust that you all know by now that I do have such a will on this front), it’s not physically possible to email/text everything to everyone.*

*[Moreover, I suspect that you wouldn’t want your inboxes spammed by me so frequently!]

I’ve been exploring manageable ways of sharing what’s posted there with everyone, and I hope that having a ‘window’ to our Facebook activity here might be the answer. I wonder whether this might be a useful place for you to visit during idle moments when you might like some inspiration for something to watch, read, or visit?

Below is a widget feed (no really - that is what it’s called), which I think should allow anyone to scroll through and see what’s on our Facebook page, without having to venture into Facebook itself. Fingers tightly crossed that it does what I think it should…!

Please let me know how I’m doing or, indeed, whether it’s not something which is of interest to you, in the comments below or by email or actual talking!
