  • Almost 2 years later, and still no solution in sight for small to mid sized communities...

  • SPAM HELL!!!

  • CS2008: This blog is now WIDER!

    I haven't been happy with the crappy width that this blog had, but I didn't want to widen the width of the header image and ruin the aspect ratio. Well, I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. If I hadn't told you that I had widened the pictures...
