(I know, welcome to 2009, right?)  <\/p>\n<p>The last time I thought seriously about this, I couldn&#8217;t think of a reason to have a fan page for the blog because I couldn&#8217;t see the value-added; what would be on the fan page that wouldn&#8217;t be on the blog?  But not that I&#8217;m not blogging as obsessively as I once was, I do find things fall between the cracks, or just get posted to my personal FB page, just because it&#8217;s a quick and easy way to post a thought or two. There are fun things for Ottawa families that I don&#8217;t have time to post, or wee things that don&#8217;t seem to merit an entire blog post. There are shareworthy links that I might have posted on Pinterest, had I not quit it several months ago, or other bits of flotsam and jetsam that die in draft format because I can&#8217;t get them out quickly enough. I also have a few ideas for some fun giveaways and contests.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to put up a poll asking you whether you&#8217;d be interested in &#8220;liking&#8221; a fan page for Postcards from the Mothership, but then I decided to let the liking speak for itself: if you&#8217;re interested in hearing a little bit more, please do!<\/p>\n<p><!-- Facebook Badge START --><class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Postcards-from-the-Mothership\/307882514862\" target=\"_TOP\" style=\"font-family: &quot;lucida grande&quot;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3B5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Postcards from the Mothership\">Postcards from the Mothership<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Postcards-from-the-Mothership\/307882514862\" target=\"_TOP\" title=\"Postcards from the Mothership\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/badge.facebook.com\/badge\/307882514862.7517.1650293533.png\" style=\"border: 0px;\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/dashboard\/\" target=\"_TOP\" style=\"font-family: &quot;lucida grande&quot;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3B5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Make your own badge!\">Promote Your Page Too<\/a><\/class><!-- Facebook Badge END --><\/p>\n<p>Consider it a sort of Postcards-lite, with a little extra something on the side.
