1. The blog's been rejiggered a bit, and there's now a leftbar in addition to the sidebar. If you're not seeing that, or if you're seeing text and pictures all running into each other willy-nilly, or anything else like that, please let us know in the comments.

2. The splash page of backwardscity.net has been rejiggered as well, and now loads one of five images randomly every time you load it. More random images will be added as we get around to it.

3. Our second annual contest is now officially open, and an ad for said contest is now gracing the top of the sidebar. You can see an even bigger ad for that contest here as a .jpg, or here as a .pdf. Amazingly, our second contest receives top sidebar billing even above donating to the Red Cross, which as you know is incredibly, incredibly important.

Interested parties should also take note of our chapbook contest, and spread the word.
