I've just added a new contact page in the right-hand sidebar, and removed the old email link. The purpose of the contact page is to save time...I hope. I hope it will answer some questions in advance that heretofore I have been obliged to answer manually in each individual case.
It might sound a little snotty, for which a thousand apologies, but as TOP has gotten gradually more successful, the administrative duties have made my job seem "like getting pecked to death by ducks" (in the memorable phrase of J. Gregory Morgan, describing his then-current job as Headmaster of the National Cathedral School for Girls). I especially hope that it answers the question of missing comments.
The page will actually get a little longer, because I have a few more things to add to it, but...well, I don't have time right now.

The one thing I would love is the ability to see updates to this site on Twitter.

How about getting an intern to assist? Unpaid but earning experience. A local very popular State politics blog does some of his admin duties with intern assistance. They stay through an academic period and move on, much the wiser, with experience on their resume. Win-win situation. A thought.

I've done the (electrical) maintenance crew thing. It's not unusual to be expected to fix everything right now, with something I found in my back pocket.
I do a little maintenance work now and the back pocket clause applies, but as it's voluntary work and they don't have any money to spare, I don't worry. It stretches the mind. They accept that with their tiny budget the old, "Quick, cheap or good, choose any two" question "quick" is not often to be had.

Wow, that contact page is inspirational. I've got to do something like that asap!
