It figures that the first person to comment as I slowly start making time to get back to blogging here would be Mike. He was also one of the first way back nearly 6 years ago when Light & Dark first started. In fact, his first contact was a trackback, not even a comment. That came a couple of posts later when we got talking about Acidman, the burgeoning TypePad beta community (TypePad had just launched in limited release) and the Toledo Mudhens (Klinger's team on MASH).
While I have some cleaning up to do in the old blogroll, I'm quite impressed to see that so many of the stawarts that been over there in the sidebar so long are still blogging actively. Hardy folks with impressive longevity!
Looking forward to getting back in touch with a number of them. (Hi De! Hi Mike W!) I've stayed active in some comment sections, but have missed talking to a few of those folks. As someone who now specialises in Social Media and web marketing, it's pretty cool to see how well my old blogging community has held up over the years.
It's nice to have you back. A lot of betas have moved on to other platforms but there are still a few of us around.

Not a feed reader, Paul, just cliking in here randomly, and voila!
I've also posted, first time in a year and a half. Wish it was good news. Sadly, it wasn't.
That said, I'll likely dive back into things. Sure is a bunch of blogfodder in the news of late.
Oh, and congrats to y'all up there for killing the horrid long gun registry. Way to go! Handguns next!
I'll be in touch soon, as I've some internal Typepad stuff needs tweaking. Hope I remember 10% of what to do.
Welcome back!
