Answers to Wisdom Question: "Farewell to Print"

First of all, a brief explanation and/or apology:

About a month ago, we asked our first Wisdom Question here on the Birth Vine Blog. We've been silent for some time, focussing on our homes and families (What is it about January that always brings on so many colds?!), but we are back now, and we would like to get back on-task with our work here at The Birth Vine!

So, the question we'd asked  our readership was:

What will you miss most about the print edition of the Birth Vine, or what do you like best about the blog edition of The Birth Vine?

Below are some of the answers we received- as we did with our Print Edition, we are posting your comments with the names withheld for privacy. If, for future Wisdom Questions, you would like your name included with your comments, please let us know and we will post it along with your comment!

"What will I miss the most about the print edition of the Birth Vine? Probably the small thrill of opening my mailbox and seeing something there addressed to me, that familiar large orange envelope. Especially the fact that it's NOT a bill!

I think I will enjoy the immediacy of the blog, being able to easily look for an older article without having to store a stack of paper magazines in my home!"

I will miss flipping through a paper copy page by page, but I like that the BV will still be around in the form of a blog. I also like that the BV is trying to stay true to the paper copy by still doing Wisdom questions.

I will miss getting that BV in the mail and sitting down right of way and reading it all right of way in an hour but I won't miss them piling up in my house!!! I'm excited to read updates and stories all the time!!
