[Openglam_members] Wellcome Library blog on OpenGLAM

Hi Dorota,

That is really strange - there have been issues before though with the
Publishing feature. I have re-added the blog: you should be able to see it
now here:
http://openglam.org/2014/06/10/the-wellcome-librarys-top-10-open-images-2/

Best and good luck for the ELAG conference!
