I’m going away for a few days to visit my parents. This Sunday is my sixth wedding anniversary, so I won’t be posting to Monitor Duty.

Just to clear up where things stand:

The site design is not done, not by a long shot, I’ve just been busy doing updates for Scott Beatty. Next week I’ll finish the layout, the code updates and the site’s color scheme. I’ll also be further revising our message board.

I still have to convert all of our archives and restore them. Doing this will create categories, which is why I haven’t added many categories to the system. So, all you contributors, just add stuff to the existing categories or leave it uncategorized and I’ll work backwards next week.

I then have to work on the Metro Med web site. I’m waiting to post a big update and announcement, but the secret’s out: we’re going to be published by Shooting Star Comics. Our first story will be in Shooting Star Comics Anthology #7. I knew about that months ago but couldn’t talk about it, which is why I told all our readers to make sure they ordered that issue at their comic shop. If you haven’t done that yet, there may still be time. You can used the downloadable PDF on our site to simplify ordering the book at your comic shop.

Have a great weekend. Oh, and check out the Viking Inn in northern Minnesota. I’ll be staying there later this month!
