Good morning everybody!  Just a few things I wanted to alert you to:

First, if you go to the People page, you'll find the new "Blog Bytes" box in the top lefthand corner, where I'll be highlighting interesting posts.  Keep checking back to see what's going on on the B.com blogs!

Second, Dusty is the first non-staffer blogger to upload her own video into one of her blog posts via YouTube, so check it out--and then join her in the fun!

Third, I want to thank folks for their recent attempts to "play nice," or at least "nicer" (and yes, that's not a real word), around here.  You're showing that it is possible to use humor and satire to make points, and to argue and debate and disagree and educate, all without resorting to stuff our Terms of Use frown on like profanity, defamatory name-calling, and libel.  And for those of you who don't like being told to play nice, well, a little positive peer pressure can go a long way.  Heh.  (Also, everybody, it'd help, re: getting in touch with you off-blog, if you made sure that you had your current, real e-mail addresses on file in your profiles.)

That's it for now.  Have a good day, and as usual, feel free to e-mail me with any concerns/questions/ideas/problems.
