Slimming Down
the Press
 If
you're a regular here at the Syndicate, you know the Syndicate
Press is by and large the meat of the site. As our total article
count nears one hundred, the Syndicate
Press nears fifty. That's enough to make that page load darn
slow, as some people may have already realized. So, for convenience,
the Syndicate Press will now be
available by year, in two small chunks (three when 2002 starts up).
Enjoy!

the Workplace Clean.

Oh, Thanksgiving!
 It's
not recommended that you stop eating in order to save space for
a bountiful Thanksgiving Dinner weeks in advance. That in mind,
here's a new mascot for a Syndicate November, Penelope the Carrot
and her newborn baby carrot Peter! This small family may just be
consumed on the 22nd this month, but it won't diminish the fact
that they are serving as dignified mascots for this fine site. For
more stuff on mascots, check out the Mascot
Archives.

the Site (Temporarily of Course)

like to write with the Syndicate team send whatever you come up
with here.
If all goes well, it will be illustrated and published on the site,
able to be viewed by thousands! Join the Syndicate now!

and categorization, and in today's Guest Columns,
Syndicate Reporter Charles Anderson helps sort out exactly that.
