Though we like it, sometimes technology doesn't work

If any person that happens by this site happens to know why, every time I add a link via Blogger's "new post", the interface also adds the text "http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" somewhere in that post... please let me know.

Though honestly, we'd probably just get"others" to do it. Ok, so that is the last time I try to schedule posts... I promise. Apparently they would have shown up in 2012.

Is Blogging a Phase?

If you take a look over there at our archives, it may look like The Village is a relatively new site -A fresh space on the internets, if you will.

Oh, there are still a few out there with recent updates. But most have either been laying dormant for years or are missing altogether.
