Hey Dossy, you were the first person to ever del.icio.us anything I ever wrote, so I wanted to say thanks. The entry that you del.icio.us-ified got moved to my new domain at pennyhero.net recently.
If you want to update the del.icio.us entry, this is the direct link: Emily on the News
Anyway, thanks.
Emily: I updated my subscription to point to your new site, but I hadn’t gone and updated any old links. Thanks for letting me know the new URL. I’ve updated this entry and my del.icio.us bookmark.
Thanks Dossy. :) You’re awesome.
