1. Email subscriptions: we will be changing the email address that our blog uses to send out our posts. Starting on Friday night it will change to feeds@geripal.org. If you stop getting our emails please check your spam filters (Let me know if you still don’t get them by emailing me at eric.widera@ucsf.edu). 2. Comments: Our Year 2 goal is to increase the amount of comments for each post. Comments are the heart of this blog – serving as the main way we can learn from each other. To comment on GeriPal please go to the bottom on the post in the GeriPal website and click the "Post a Comment" link. A form will pop up where you can type your comment, choose a name (either anonymous, manually entered name, opened, or Google account), and then click publish. It’s that easy. If you are reading the post on email click on the “Comment” link to get to the form.
4. Apps: Got an iPhone? Download our new GeriPal app! You can check it out at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geripal/id365844040?mt=8
5. Facebook: Are you on facebook? If so, add GeriPal as a friend at our new site - http://www.facebook.com/GeriPal.
6. Feedback: We are looking for feedback to improve GeriPal. Please comment below on ways you think we can make it better.

*One suggestion: is to make it clear how an author of a post can subscribe to receive email and/or phone updates of comments on their post, without receiving all the email and/or phone updates of comments made on other posts.
*Positive Feedback: I think that the pictures and "Top Post" category make the site interface especially engaging.
Agree with the need for more chatter. Just comment - don't worry about grammar (or grammer), its a lot funner!
I think a heading titled "Submissions" or "Contact" would make it a lot faster to learn the procedure. It took me a while to find "Please email Eric Widera or Alex Smith if you are interested in being a regular contributor (you need to contact us to submit your own post)" at the end of the welcome.
You might want to consider adding some of your recent statistics about the progress of the blog in that welcome section, so visitors can be impressed. I wish you continued success.
