1.    Good news! Now we may comment freely (again). Angiepymytu descended into the bowels of "advanced" (read: hidden) blogger settings and eliminated the unwelcome presence of Google+ from this exclusive blogging soirée. Paranoia, be gone! 2 .     The blog now uses Disqus which is better anyway for several reasons. One benefit is that, if we wish to migrate VP to Wordpress or (less likely now) to the post-Yahoo! Tumblr, then all our comments and other data clutter are entirely - and easily - portable. 3 .     W e have ourselves a new domain name , which was 100% free via  this cool thing . Just another step forward in the great migration away from Google ! No trail of tears here. (There might be blood.)
