From blog to Website?

You can find the content of this blog, and much more, on a regularly updated website! Check Sam's Letters And Crafts !

Lately, I've started to put my nose in the Joomla Content Management System and I'm thinking more and more about turning this blog into a full website.

I guess there would be much more interesting features, and also the possibilty to have a bilingual site (as I would also love to get in touch with more french-speaking fans of crafts and penpalling!). But it won't happen tomorrow though: I'll have a few tests to run.

But be sure that if it happens, I'll display the address of the website several weeks before. In the meantime, stay tuned!

But not everybody knows what I mean by that. In the letter-writing and swapping world, Booklets are pieces of paper which are stapeled together. It then looks like a small booklet made for one person (the owner) by another person (maker). The booklet is passed on, from one penpal to another. And the last signer has to send it back to the owner. The various types Here is a biref description of the main categories, but there are often new ones popping up!
