We've added a special weblog category & page to PhillyStories to point to interesting stories about Philadelphia that are on other sites.

We've gotten our bookmark section online and are accepting requests to add bookmarks.

Good news. We've finally fixed the 'Your Stories' feature at Amsterdam Stories and brought the old entries back on line. Made them legible too, which I'm sure will please our readers.

Happy Christmas from The Netherlands.

Last week my wife Elisabetta lost her beloved grandma; it was really hard for her, but we are sure that if grandma Giulia could have seen all that happened on the funeral day she would have laughed happily.

That's right - he was playing the shell game. The SheEl Game, new at Chicago Stories.

Halifax Stories is now live. Feel free to drop by and say hello.

The City Stories Project got some good press today. The Detroit News called us: "A brilliant example of the dedication and beauty of the independant web." Maybe this will inspire someone in Detroit to start a City Stories site! Any takers?

We recently promoted one of our best writers, Eric Nygren, to a Supervisor in Seattle. This means his stories are listed on the front page in the "Our Stories" section along with the creators of the site. He's got two new stories up there now: There But For and the award-winning Doppelganger. For more of Eric's stories, you can check out his profile page.
