New Site Features

Thanks to Amanda for coming up with the ideas for our site. Because of her efforts, we are now able to bring you yet another service. “What the Papers Say” is a service that will bring the papers to you. When we find anything of note being reported in the press, we will publish the link here and in the email alert service. Click the link above to see what the papers are saying.

The really exciting news is that in the very near future (days I hope) we will be unveiling yet another complimentary service. This is a new position for us as it will be totally interactive. That's right, totally interactive. Watch this space. If you are not on the email alert service yet, just know that you need to be on it. You just do.
