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.
