I agree, I just got into the BLOG and have no idea what to do with it now that I am there. Maybe I am just stupid but all I want to do is express my need for my Ten Tec Omni VII to work with Dxbase.

I for one, find going to a BLOG to check for news a pain to say the least. I will not be doing it, and I am sure many others feel the same way. Why not send out announcements to the newsgroup instead of forcing everyone to go to your blog Neal? You ask me, this is a giant step backwards in customer service. While it is nice that you have a blog, I do not want to have to go to it when there are more effective ways to communicate.
