    Did you track those reading mPress via RSS? I visited the actual site a single time, but did read most of the articles in Google Reader via the RSS feed.

    I have checked into this site more than once a day trying to have a long-distance experience with the convention and delegate assembly. I am appreciative of this technology. Thank you.

    Thank you mPress staff for making it possible for those of us not in Columbus to feel so very connected to what is taking place.

    Thank you for providing us with a link to convention! I especially appreciated the photos taken and shared. It is hard to describe to others the feeling of being there! The photos help!
