Your list is exactly why I have clicked off of at least four of the past six blogs I found this morning.<BR/><BR/>I don't like it when I'm reading a post and someone says something like, "Last night I went <I>here</I> and saw <I>this</I>." It drives me crazy! Tell me where you went and what you saw and link to it if you like. If I have to keep clicking back in forth to find out what the hell you are talking about, I'm done.<BR/><BR/>Unless, of course you do that on this blog. As a new reader, I'm not sure.

One of the things that we at Scholastic Scribe are most proud of is the Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. Several of you are already familiar with the arbitrary and quite inane weekly attempt at humor...for you, and for those of you who have not yet played Sx3, I urge you to drop by Sunday to see what's up. Oh, and congrats on being named a SS.
