I will be adding the columns from
2007 – 2012 to that page as well, but I am in the process of checking what link
URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is a time consuming process so I

If you interested you may want to subscribe to the blog so you will receive them as soon as they are up. I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.
