Okay...looks like Blogger is having technical difficulties with the site...

I have no idea what has happened but my sidebars and assorted links and fun stuff have vanished from the site but are still visible from my end on the layout screen.  It could be user error or it could be sun spots or the Tamagochi running the server might be taking a dirt nap.  We shall see... (edit) Looks like the problem is with SpringWidgets...hope I don't lose my archived material...
