So, the MKL team has been hard-at-work adding features, tweaking the user interface, generally making it all work better.  A year later, having learned Ruby on Rails, acquired hosting, written thousands of lines of Ruby, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, we are faced with the truly difficult part: building a community of users.

The Internet is so big and so deep and so wide that it is genuinely chellenging to find ways to let people know about a new service that they might find useful.  We're hoping that users, as they find MKL through word-of-mouth, will recommend it to their friends and keep it growing that way.

But, we can't help wondering, "Isn't there a way to get the word out that is a little faster and mor effective?"  Without an advertising budget to buy Google AdWords space or some other advertising, what options to we have to let the world know about My Kids Library?
