Welcome to the 'Hotspot'!

Dear Hailstones,
Welcome to the Hailstone Haiku Circle's first online website, provisionally called 'The Hotspot'. If you can think of a better name, we can change it later on.
You can advertise a haiku-related event here or post a poem for comment. We wish to feature mainly winter poems until the end of Feb. You can leave comments for others by clicking on the 'comments' tab beside a contribution. You can use Japanese, if you wish. As others outside the Circle will be able to view this site, please do your best to make 'Hotspot' look nice and read well. The three site editors, David McCullough, Hisashi Miyazaki and Stephen Gill will occasionally do some housekeeping and tidy up the site. Some old postings will continue to be available under 'previous posts' and there are many Links for you to follow to other haiku websites, if you wish to explore the net. The Haiku Ireland one even features some of your poems (under Books). If you wish to post a photo, please choose the 'centred' option, where the words are displayed above/below the photo, as in the Shinnenkai posting. Try to visit the site once a week or fortnight to see what's new. We are still experimenting ... and so can you! Have fun with our Hotspot site!
Thanks again to David for setting it up, and very best wishes to all of you,
Stephen
