I want to extend a special welcome to all those who have found The Hog’s Head!  We’re glad to have you here.  Aberforth’s beer is on the house, so we hope you’ll stick around and join the discussion.  Here’s a bullet-point introduction to The Hog’s Head:

• Blogengamot: The Hog’s Head is run by the Blogengamot, a council of Harry Potter bloggers.  You can learn all about us here.
• The Hog’s Head PubCast: I’ve been running a Harry Potter podcast for a couple years.  Some of you had a chance to hear a little about it at the Portus Podcast Palooza.  You can subscribe through iTunes or at Odeo, or listen right here at the site.  The PubCast main page is here and always linked at the top.  There you’ll find details for how to get onto the podcast, if you’d like!
• Giveaways: Once a month, we give away something great.  So far, we’ve given away a free copy of Andrew Peterson’s wonderful book, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, a BBC Radio dramatization of The Lord of the Rings, and a 3 Audiobook collection.  Subscribe now so you’ll know when the next giveaway happens!
• Networking: There are other ways to keep in touch with The Hog’s Head, including Twitter, Plurk, and Facebook.
• Subscribe:  You can subscribe for free to The Hog’s Head in your RSS reader, with your LiveJournal, or by email (see sidebar to the right).
• Contact: You can get in touch with any of the Blogengamot members by sending an E-Owl.
• Polls: There are a number of polls in which you can participate (some outdated, since they were before book 7’s release), and the most recent is always on the sidebar to the right.
• Your Ideas: We encourage feedback all the time.  You’re here; you’ve browsed the site.  Any suggestions?  Leave a comment or send an E-Owl!
