member profiles
Right now there are literally only a handful of blog members (anyone can comment, but only members can create posts). In the coming weeks there should theoretically be a few more member profiles up here, i.e., posts in which the title is the member's name and the content is something about that person. After the next meeting on Sept. 15 there will also, with any luck, be some stories or essays. Gradually there will also be more members, and thus more member profiles.
