So I have decided that one direction I would like to take this weblog is having a weekly column titled: “The Weekly Web Roundup.” Essentially each week I will pick a theme, and provide a roundup around that theme. Who knows what we might get, maybe.. Weekly Web Roundup – Pies edition! (mmmm pies..)
