THE VILLAGE BLOG Visitors to the village or to this web site; please comment on the "Visitors" topic of the Blog. How to use the BLOG

Sadly, idiot spammers have attacked our Village Blog and put inappropriate material on it, so now I have to try to filter the content before it can be displayed.
This will result in delays in seeing your genuine contributions, but I think that is better than exposing villagers of all ages to offensive postings. Sorry! John.
