- Become familiar with how google groups work. As much as I'd like to be able to help everyone learn how to use google groups, I'm afraid I won't have time to be able to help you right away. If you have a question you can't figure out on your own, you can send it to me at momskitchen at comcast dot net. I'll try to get to it as soon as I can.
- Check out the old posts of MLFB on our google group page. Fun stuff! That's the best way to get to know everyone and to catch up on our latest discussion.
- Introduce yourself to the group. Tell us your first name, your blog's URL, and where you live to start. After that, please tell us anything more you'd like to share.
- Attend a gathering! One of the best things about MLFB is our get togethers. The food is always fantastic and it's great to meet the author of a food blog that you've admired.
- Host a gathering! Themed potlucks, educational opportunities, group cooking ventures are always popular. There's certain to be someone that wants to do what you would like to do.
- Author something for our group blog, which is myfoodtribe.blogspot.com If you'd like to be added to our group blog, email kimbayer at gmail dot com.
- Add yourself to our MLFB map. Click edit and place a marker on your location. Title it with your blog's URL.
- Invite a Michigan woman food blogging friend to join us

Michigan Lady Food Blogger FAQ
Who are the Michigan Lady Food Bloggers?
We are a group of over 50 women that live in Michigan that blog about food.
How did the MLFB get started?
Our history can be found here.
What does the MLFB do?
We have an active google group where we talk about food, writing about food, share advice about cooking (and life) and we occasionally get together for various pursuits...group cooking, potlucks, holiday cookie exchanges, etc. We read each others blogs, we comment on each others blogs, we inspire each other.
Why is the group only for women? There's lots of great food blogs written by men.
Yes, there are! Men we know often do attend our events. Early on, the group decided they wanted it to be a group made of women food bloggers.
I live in California/Arizona/Florida/Etc. Can I join the MLFB?
Since our group likes to meet face to face throughout the year, we like to keep it local. We do have a few members that have moved away and continued to be a part of our circle, but the group works well because we actually meet in person fairly often.
What is required to join the MLFB?
It's easy to join! To join, women need to live in Michigan and have a food blog. We don't care if your blog is totally about food, but it should include posts about food on occasion.
I don't have a food blog yet, but I am going to start one soon. Can I still join?
