Keep checking back for posts by our cobloggers. My connection here remains quite poor, with each post requiring four or even five reconnections due to the wireless service here (dial up does not work at this hotel).
One other problem. When we do a post sometimes we spot a typo and immediately fix it. Here, there is a longer lag since we are frequently disconnected and have to reconnect. So if you see a new post and see a typo etc. refresh the site since a revision is likely on the way.
