[Newspoetry] from the technical desk

[Editor-Within-Chief]

Newspoets,

First of all, I want to raise a toast to all you Newspoets because you ROCK.

We are absolutely stuffed to the gills with Newspoetry.  We're booked 
through this time next month.  Keep 'em coming if you want to, or even take 
a Newspoetry vacation if you want, because we're at a comfortable cruising 
altitude and the complimentary beverages are flowing (speaking of which, 
Babs, I owe you one, big).

It's all about T-shirts at this point.  Porter, I want that on my desk 
yesterday!  I've got pre-orders for the damn thing and I haven't even seen 
the proofs.

In the meantime, I spruced up the search page.  Unplugged the old 
steam-powered search engine that William Gillespie, Sr. installed in 
19-aught-99 and replaced it with one of those snazzy yellow rack-mounted 
Google units.  It just purrs.  Give it a spin at

http://www.newspoetry.com/search.html

I need to come up with a better solution for excluding indexes from 
searches, but damn it, I'm an editor, not a search engine guy!

[grinds cigar butt out]

Now listen.  I want three ice dancing poems by four o'clock, and make sure 
we get a bard on the copyright extension ruling prontissimo.  Now get out 
of my office!
