Social Media

We have a new menu item – Social Media on menu bar at top of page that links to a new page containing links to our Facebook pages and our new Twitter account. Please feel free to click on the menu item to look at what we are doing to provide content (currently we have three different pages and 1 Twitter account).

Email changes:

Note: Due to some email difficulties we have had to replace our info@miggs.org email with information@miggs.org. Sorry for this and we appreciate your patience in this manner! We have attempted to replace them everywhere on our website!

Resources upgrading to a Resource List

We have changed the website menu item from Resources to Resource List. It is an alphabetical list of resources categorized in three separate categories:

  • Resource Articles
  • Resource Websites
  • Resource Videos

These may split out into other groupings/categories as we get more entered but for now those are the breakdown. Please look under Resource List and look thru the lists – if you find a bad link report it to information@miggs.org.
