I only just realised that when I turned on word verification for the comments, I also accidentally checked the ‘moderate comments’ option as well. Because I didn’t mean to do this, I didn’t check the ’email alerts’ option, so comments… Read More ›

At yesterday’s latte-blog the consensus was to have an outdoor meet once the weather got cooler, to make it a family-friendly location, and get as many bloggers along we can. April Fool’s Day seemed to all concerned to be the… Read More ›
Blogwhoring at Pandagon
