Ask Judi!

This week's input comes from Karen:

"Would it be possible for you to put links to your past newsletters...including its topic...somewhere in your newsletter each week? I'd love to be able to reference your other newsletters even more quickly!"

Absolutely, Karen!

As you've probably already noted, I've reformatted the left hand side of the newsletter to present a topical listing of past newsletters (starting with August 2001).

For a complete listing of ALL past EduHound Weekly newsletters, you can still go to: http://www.eduhound.com/eduhoundweekly.cfm

Good Luck!

Each week, I'll use this area to answer questions that have been streaming in from YOU! As the saying goes, "If you have a question or comment, chances are that others have it too!" So please write us at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
