Thanks to Southern Illinoisan webmaster Lauren Joy for explaining why the links to the The Southern's stories are often dead the day after they are posted to this blog. She updates the page at 6:45 a.m., and yesterday's news gets a new archival link -- which makes it hard on a blogger, not to mention the disappointment a bloggee feels when getting The Southern's error page. So click fast, bloggy: the story you seek about (former Saluki basketball star and assistant coach) Shane Hawkin's guilty plea in Kansas may not be so readily available tomorrow. We're workin' on it though. ;-)

And thanks to Carbondale City Clerk Janet Vaught for giving me the heads-up on next week's City Council meeting (still listed on the City's website): There isn't one! -- which makes it easier on a blogger -- and for a bloggee.

See ya April 1.
