You may add your news in the comments section.

* How to add a comment after a post  This blog’s design makes it hard to figure out how to comment. Go down to the bottom of the post (after the calendar) and you will see in light grey type: “RATE THIS”        “tagged (a list of the tags)        (the number of) comments”   Click on the word comments to open all posted comments.

At the very bottom of the page you will see “LEAVE A REPLY.” That’s where you make a new comment. You can reply to a posted comment by clicking “Reply” under that comment. In each case, make sure to click “POST COMMENT” when you are finished. It’s a good idea to write out your comment first and then paste it in so that you don’t risk losing what you wrote.
