Things got a little busy around here and we didn't have time to get the issue put together. Before we knew it, Wednesday came and went. Thanks for your patience! Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms out there! ---------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTES FROM THE WEEKLY BOOKMARK TEAM ---------------------------------------------------------------- We received a flood of opinions regarding our Special Issue question over the last couple of weeks. The vast majority of you were interested in receiving a special issue now and then. There were, however, some that didn't want the extra email, not having enough time to read what they are already receiving. We know how that goes... What we've decided to do is wait until we upgrade the service we use to send out the newsletter. At that time, we'll be able to offer two lists, a regular Weekly Bookmark and a Weekly Bookmark Plus that will include special issues (one or two a month max) that will focus on a single theme or event. Thanks for all your feedback! Also, keep all of your great submissions coming to us at: http://www.weeklyb.com/html/submit1.html Have a great day, The TWB Team ---------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alexa is the ultimate browser plugin.
