Scotland Weekly Delayed

Sorry folks, due to some improvements (we hope they are) being added to the blog. The Scotland Weekly will be delayed for a while. It is not shelved and will be back pretty soon.

You might like to use the new comment system from Intense Debate that has just been implemented as well as a preview sytem from Snap.

We have also added a PayPal's Donation Button linking to the SL Scotland Maintenance Fund on the right side of the blog. This fund would be used to help keep the sims going. Every pound and penny counts.
