I just discovered that on Wednesday PuppetVision was once again featured as one of Blogger’s “Blogs of Note” (this last happened in the Fall of 2005 I think) and as result the traffic here has quadrupled in the past couple days and brought in a few thousand first time visitors. If this is your first...

Several people have written in because they noticed that their link in the sidebar dropped off as part of the recent updates. I wanted to write a quick note to say that if that did happen to you it’s not intentional or deliberate and no slight is intended. When I upgraded to Blogger Beta a...
