Hi everyone. We have just added some colorful buttons at the end of each post to make it easier for you to whore us out to your social media minions. Please appreciate their shiny web 2.0-ness. (Are we past web 2.0 already?):

Ha ha to those of you who tried to click on those buttons. The real ones are located at the end of the post, for those of you who weren’t paying attention at sentence two. You can now repost a post to Facebook, tweet a post, follow the comments on just a post, or email a link to a post, right from the icons below. Please let me know if there are any super savvy people out there who want a reddit or a tumblr or a stumbleupon or some other hootenanny button that I don’t understand on there, and I’ll add it in. Except for mySpace, of course. Even I know that’s for troglodytes.
