Dear Readers,
Thank you for the emails of support.
Today, we have given the news portion of Rock Trueblood's Watchworld it's own blog address.
It is set up and we've already got this afternoon's news posted to it.
Here is the new address:
http://www.a1anews.blogspot.com/
As you will see, the blog for news is still evolving. Soon we will have our own website(s) which will allow better formatting of the front page . . . which will be our only page for faster loading.
You will also notice we've changed fonts and have decided to go with all black for all links while dropping the prefix headings to every post. This will allow faster uploading of news to our new site.
If any of you have any suggestions, please drop a line to rocktrueblood@gmail.com
Thank-you to all the new readers who are returning on a daily basis. Thank-you to our Key West fans.
Be sure to click on one of our advertisers at the bottom of the blog so as to help defray expenses.
Ciao for now,
