You may have noticed an absence of updates in the past couple of days. Again, we’re shorthanded, and I just can’t do it all. These past two days are the first two days (I believe) SSS has ever missed under my stewardship, certainly knowingly missed.
That said, I’ve been looking to see how we can innovate for our readers, while perhaps cutting back on a little bit of work for us, particularly as long as we’re struggling to work all six days up for you.
What you’ll see below is a work-in-progress, feel free to offer compliments or criticism on the changes.
