Just a quick note to readers of this site — and we thank you for your supportive emails.
YES, we have added a variety of cobloggers to this site recently for several reasons and we’re happy that most of you enjoy the variety of viewpoints.
YES, we are planning some kind of format revamp or change. We have long been urged to something in the way of classification of posts, “READ MORE” links so whole posts don’t eat up the page (we don’t like this option and did not use it on Typepad), and several others.
Our “final” new coblogger will soon join TMV. We’ll then be accelerate our study of possible format changes to make TMV more “reader friendly.” In the meantime, (a) just scroll down (b) remember you can find posts that aren’t on the main page in archives.
Also, people ask about why I’m not posting as much. It has to do with Xmas season and also a catastrophe dealing with my non-blog database (I rely on that for $$$). I’ve had to install ACT! (which I love) and learn how to use it and do some emergency mailings. I have a superb consultant. So I’m behind on what I post but I should be able to do a bit more in the next week to 10 days.
