Hi Irene, we'd be delighted to have you as one of the earliest users of the CrowdAbout site! It's early yet, but we already have some cool new ideas (thanks in no small way to contributors like Rupert and Scott!) such as adding images in posts. If you decide to give it a try, drop me a line using the contact form on the site: I'd love to see your content, and be of help with using the site where I may. But in all matters of creative uses for time-posts, I'll defer to Rupert, who is already distinguishing himself very nicely...
