 Blog has drawn favourable, offline, responses, subscriptions and a small and loyal readership.  There have been numerous requests for further information about the content, including requests for details about Foam and its other activities. I have also had several people connect and contact each other through the site. Therefore it has already contributed to Foam’s aim of encouraging participation, and collaboration. Blog has drawn favourable, offline, responses, subscriptions and a small and loyal readership.  There have been numerous requests for further information about the content, including requests for details about Foam and its other activities.
