We hope you all like our new text box. We've been wanting to make one for a long time, but every time we tried, we got stumped by the coding. We owe a huge thanks to Meg of Mandarin Design for helping us out. Their site has more good blogging tricks and tips than any other we've come across and they are all free. We'll be tweaking it some more in the coming days, but so far we are very happy with it. For some reason, we don't see it in AOL, only in Internet Explorer, so if you're using the AOL browser, you may not get it.

We've gotten some e-mails that after our rebuild, commenters are having to re-type their user info with each comment. Let us know in the comments or by email if that's happened to you recently--or if you are getting popup ads for video surveillance cameras when you open TL, and we'll try to get it fixed.

Enough about us. Check out Mad Kane who's got an ombudsman fact-checking her anti-Dubya work.

Hesiod at Counterspin has the latest on the arrest of former Congressional staffer and journalist Susan Lindauer.

Seems a little inconsistent.

Instapundit suggests sending flowers to the Spanish embassy at 2375 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. - Washington, D.C. 20037. The Embassy phone number, which you'll need to enter for Internet orders is 202.452.0100. Glenn used 1-800-Flowers.com. We'd like to see an address for sending money for blood, supplies, funerals, family aid, etc., so if you come across such info, please leave it in the comments. Also per Glenn, here's a list of all the Spanish consulates in the U.S. so you can see if there's one in your area.

Finally, if you're going to be in Washington, DC, tomorrow:

The Embassy of Spain convenes a silent demonstration tomorrow, Friday, March 12th, to express its outrage for today's terrorist attack perpetrated in Madrid, in which approximately 200 people have died and 900 have been injured. The demonstration will take place at the Washington Circle (Pennsylvania Ave and 23rd St NW) at 12 pm.
