Dave Shepherd announces changes to The Word Nerds’ blog and feed, which will take place this weekend. The web address for The Word Nerds will remain thewordnerds.org, and the feed address will stay thewordnerds.org/rss. [EDIT: The very best way to subscribe is to use thewordnerds.org/feed. If you are already subscribed using /rss, it will work, but only because you are being redirected to /feed. If this confuses you, and everything works fine, then just leave things the way they are.] This may mean duplicate downloads for editions of TWN that you have already received from April and May 2006. You can correct this on your end by changing the settings in your podcatcher software so that you are receiving only the most recent episodes of podcasts, not all episodes. If, despite this, you still receive duplicate downloads, I apologize. After this weekend (5/27/06) you should only get one copy of each show through our feed. Cross your fingers! Let’s hope this works! This will mean a more accessible comment function on our blog, as well as a bulletin-board-style forum in coming weeks. time: 3:22 size: 2.4 Mb [ order viagra online | viagra online stores | viagra australia | sildenafil citrate | viagra online store | viagra instructions | viagra deaths | viagra pfizer | viagra online ordering | purchase sildenafil citrate | cialis for less 20 mg | viagra overnight | poker viagra | viagra online without a prescription | viagra sale | purchase cialis overnight delivery | generic viagra in mexico | alternate uses for viagra | cialis buy overnight | is pfizer viagra available in india | adviser finance order viagra | real cialis | vigor 2000 | female version viagra | cialis en mexico | viagra online deals | cialis alternative | buying viagra | cialis professional 100 mg | viagra for cheap | pal pay pill viagra | viagra dosage | ordering viagra overnight delivery | viagra 6 free samples | buy viagra alternative | cialis soft | viagra 50 mg | viagra discussions | 50 mg cialis dose | can teens take viagra | is pfizer viagra available in india | generic ogden viagra | generic omnigen viagra | buy and purchase viagra online | generic viagra | sildenafil citrate tablets | herbal risk viagra | herbal risk viagra | buy href lvivhost.com viagra | what if i take too much viagra | generic cialis next day delivery | canada online pharmacy viagra | viagra buy viagra | viagra joke ]
