After a hiatus, I have decided to bring this site back as a Tumblr site. This old blogger hosted site will be using the webofgoodnews.blogspot.com domain, but will not be updated anymore (the RSS feeds in the sidebar update automatically though). I have moved the old postings from here over to Tumblr and have already started posting new stuff. To follow the new Web of Good news, visit Webofgoodnews.com (or webofgoodnews.tumblr.com).
