1. Thanks to Bill Toland for mentioning Overheard in Pittsburh in the Morning File in today’s P-G. It looks like a lot of new people have found their way here.

Welcome. Please direct any Overheard submissions, questions, comments, or suggestions about the site to: Overheardinpgh@gmail.com.

2. For uninterrupted OIP service, set your bookmarks to OverheardinPittsburgh.com, which will route you to the current version of the blog. We’re working on a new site design, and the site will soon depart blogspot. And there’ll be a couple new features.

It will definitely be easier to look at than the current design.
