   On My End
   Matt Alberts weekly@webcom.com

          This issue has come to you on time, as promised. I hope all of
          the new subscribers will enjoy this standard issue. If not, I
          will see unsubscriptions flying into the mailbox tomorrow.

          WBAds

          WBAds will be a sister publication to the Weekly Bookmark. I
          have received a lot of feedback from users requesting that I
          continue to include business advertising and other business
          submissions. I have decided that I will begin accepting
          business submissions after I have established a second mailing
          list. WBAds will allow any type of commercial advertisements
          for any product or service (that isn't sexual in nature). This
          will be a place to advertise specials on products or services,
          new products, or a new business online.

          What I am looking for in the next couple of weeks is two people
          who will absorb the cost of a new mailing list. For half of the
          cost of a new mailing list, this supporter will receive an
          advertisement for aproximately 6 months on the WBAds home page,
          and every issue that gets sent out. In summary, 26 issues with
          your ad inside, archives that will contain your advertisment
          well into the future, and a possibility of a submission each
          week (for weekly or monthly specials). As soon as I have
          secured the two sponsors, I will notify everyone for
          subscriptions and more information about submissions.

          To become a sponsor, contact wb-ads@webcom.com for more
          information.

          Coming Up!

          Taxes - Information is out there and help could be on the way, if you
          only knew where it was. Look for the article in the next couple
          of weeks.

          Political Campaigns - Information on the candidates and how they are
          doing as the primaries finish up in early April.

          For now, enjoy this issue of the Weekly Bookmark!
