Suzanne Rampton wrote to the Listserv about
blogs:
"If you do not know what a blog is, it is short for "web log" -- diaries, of
sorts, that ordinary folks (in many cases) put on the web about whatever they
choose. If you want a great introduction to reading blogs, go to <http://www.bloglines.com/>.
There are great explanations of what blogging is all about,
and you can subscribe to
their free service -- an easy to way keep track of the blogs you like
and read them whenever they post something new, and at your
leisure."
Marimade
http://www.marimade.blogspot.com
I started out with a gluten-free cooking blog called Mari Made, http://www.marimade.blogspot.com, where I share recipes and reviews of gluten free products I try and places I eat in San Diego and also while traveling. I started to get requests from blog readers for baked goods so I decided to start my own gluten free baking company, Mari Made Gluten Free Bakery, http://www.marimade.net . Currently I offer delivery in San Diego and am working towards offering mail order as well." Rachel Marie Helmer, Mari Made Bakery 9/12/08
Tasty and Gluten Free
tastyandglutenfree.blogspot.com
"My name is Andrea and I am a San Diego resident recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I had barely heard of Celiac before last December so in order to educate myself and also learn how to cook for this new diet, I began a gluten free cooking blog a few months ago: Tasty... and Gluten Free! The content is all original, and any idea that I have adapted from another recipe (or photograph that I did not take myself) is fully credited to its actual creator and host website. At the moment there are about 26 recipes online and I add content approximately 3x per week." 7/27
The following are personal favorites that Suzanne Rampton wrote to the Listserv about in 2006.
She states "These
people are actually inspired by living life without gluten
(with lots of great photos!)."
