Welcome!

Welcome to the latest edition of the TheDirt.org!

Just as before you can login to TheDirt.org, make blog posts and post events.  There is a new form and we can now display Google Calendar feeds to the calendar! We've already added  Google Calendars from Friends of Trees and a few other organizations to give folks a better idea of what the calendar will be like.
