► Group and Newsletter
The HomeSpun Newsletter Group was founded in the 1990's, and orginated at eGroups.com which was later bought out by Yahoo!®, who changed the name to Yahoo!® Groups. Prior to Yahoo!® taking over eGroups, Suzy Homemaker obtained HomeSpun from a family member, becoming the group owner. Suzy then revised HomeSpun's format, and implemented its new objectives and current features. Due to technical problems at Yahoo!® Groups, after the takeover of eGroups.com, Suzy moved the group to Topica.com at some point in the new millenium. HomeSpun was later moved back to Yahoo!® Groups on October 9, 2001, where it has remained until now.
HomeSpun was designed to give homemakers a *home* online; a place to make friends, share information and get help.
► Web Site
HomeSpunFun.com, the HomeSpun Group web site was launched on Oct 29, 2002. Due to the massive accumulation of content that was being generated via the HomeSpun Newsletter Group, it was decided that a web site was needed to organize all the Group's content and also to accomodate wanted and needed additional Group features not available at Yahoo!®.
HomeSpunFun.com has seen a few face-lifts and policy changes to date. We are finally - just now - getting around to converting all our paper and electronic document files to web pages for the site. Whoo HOO!! You can expect to see a lot of content being added to our site on a frequent basis, as our supply of content is constantly growing.
► Discussion Board
HomeSpun's Discussion Board was created on February 17, 2004 at Tickle.com. Originally open only to Yahoo!® HomeSpun Group members (who are also required to be Tickle members), it has recently opened up to admit approved Tickle members.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to give HomeSpun members the opportunity to discuss *homespun* topics with each other, in a self-sustaining environment. Members post conversation topics to the Board that can be replied to by other members at their leisure.
► Suzy Homemaker's Blog
Suzy's Blog was "born" on August 25, 2005, which also happens to be Suzy's birthday! :) The blog is open to the public; however, to comment on blog entries you must join Yahoo!® 360°. It's fun and FREE!
Suzy's blog is an online personal journal that keeps everyone posted on what's happening: with Suzy, the groups, the web site and will also provide interesting tidbits and other news on items related to our HomeSpun Topics.
