The First Annual BlogShares Calendar will be ready in the next couple of weeks, just in time to get yours before the new year.

The Index Managers are interested in gathering a list of players who are fluent in any non-english language to assist in cleaning up the index. If you are fluent in a non-english tongue, please post your player id# and the language in this forum thread.
Your assistance will be a purely volunteer, “as you can handle it” duty which will be requested of you by Index Managers as needed. You will receive chips for your assistance. Especially needed are Japanese and Farsi readers.

Linn Skinner and the Index Managers have been working hard cleaning up the index and adding new industry categories for blogs. Over the past week, over 70 industries have been added, including Lord of the Rings and Origami.
