I've begun the process of cross-referencing all of our original monthly columns so that they will be accessible from within the category that they pertain to (see the
Emotional Issues section for an example of this) I think that this will make site navigation even easier, as well as expanding upon our sections.

I've decided to make the
Interview With A Poly section inactive until further notice. It's not that I don't find it to be a valuable resource, because I do. The problem is that I don't have the time to give it the proper attention right now, so I'd rather make it inactive than neglect it. The interviews that have been published so far will remain in the
archives, but no new editions will be published until I can fit in the time to do them properly.
