I'm not sure what has happened but just to be sure that everything is working, I'm going to send have the blog re-invite you to participate. That way, all the recent drama (I accidentally deleted the blog, converted it to the new google stuff, blah, blah, blah).
You don't have to be a 'member' to see the blog. But you do have to be a member to post an entry. If you don't want the added overhead of joining then you can still see the blog whenever you want. You can also subscribe to the syndication (so you see any new stuff).
So don't be surprised to get an email.
