How Could a Network Look After Itself?

We have had a brilliant couple of weeks on this website... 10 new groups, so much interesting new conversation!

Thank you to everyone who has taken part and helped to get so much energy going!!

It is often the case that for online communities such as this, it is necessary that they are 'community managed'. This role would include stimulating conversation, responding to comments, moderating where necessary.

The Glory of Failure

I am delighted to join and lend my support.
I can claim to be something of an expert on the subject of "failure".
Although I have several University degrees and 4 fellowships, I was an 11 plus failure.

During 1992 to 1996 I completed a higher reseach Masters Degree in Education at the Manchester Metropolitan University and the title of my disertation (that is in MMU LIbrary) is "From Failure to Success".
