The Daily Teaser …

Well, I think THAT helped … !!

I’ve got to admit, I’ve been doing a little bit of jiggery-pokery, on the blog.

You’ve probably already noticed that — on the top bit of the page, when you get here — there’s now some Tabs: the one’s where I’ve put ‘The Point’ and ‘The How To’.

Well …

I’ve added one …

I’ve added …

‘Quiz Links And Other Resources’ … !

Let me know if any of them are any use, folks: a lot of the free ones are handy!

At any rate, shall we move on?

Yes, let’s!

Yesterday’s teaser saw Trevor, Libellous and George all putting in answers, with Trevor bagging the Official First-In-Clap, and a score of 5 out of 5, Libellous getting 2 out of 5, and George getting absolutely zilch …

Just so you know, George, I tend to be a touch comfier knowing where people have found me: I know both Trevor, Simon and Libellous personally, and Angela(DjAlfy), Andrea(@pinkylips29) and Kaiju through Twitter.

Which is why there’s a Name/URL option on the ‘Post a Comment’ section …
