We’re sure you’ve all noticed that things have been a bit slow around FoBoBlo for the past week. Part of that’s simply because this time of year things get slow in Foggy Bottom (especially with the snowpocalypse and all), but we authors have been busy doing finals/holiday season type business of our own as well. Posting is going to be light through the rest of the week, but we’ll continue to check in, so you should do the same!
Why so Quiet?

Extreme Makeover: FoBoBlo Edition
October 18, 2009
Unless you’re reading this through a FeedReader, you’ve probably noticed this already…. but the site got a facelift! If you came here on Saturday afternoon, you probably saw this:
But that top-notch construction crew did more than just get our site prettier than a nasty rich teenager on MTV before her 16th birthday party. Hopefully we’ve solved some of our painful server problems. Only time will tell, of course, so we’ll continue to make our tweaks as necessary.
In the meantime, if you’d like to avoid any potential server crashes, you can always subscribe to our RSS feed to make sure you get your steady stream of FoBo info.

Sorry this was posted late in the day! You might have noticed we’ve been fighting some server problems this week, but we think we’ve fixed the process, and given the Blo’ an updated look! Check it out and see for yourself.
Anyway, this lovely lady is bucking the rainy day DC trend of just wearing a black peacoat & a scowl while holding a CVS umbrella. Her scarf, coat, and umbrella combo make for a fun punch of color on an incredibly dreary day — who could feel bad while wearing such a sunny coat (from Filene’s Basement)? Great find!
PS – Critical discussion is welcome on the outfits for this feature, but no negative comments about the people wearing them are allowed. Thanksssss.
Google Ads Come to the Blo
October 12, 2009
Good morning FoBo friends!
This week brings us a lot of new readers (hi everyone!) and also some new advertising. We experimented with AdBrite in the past — but the ads were mostly in German and seemed to pertain primarily to online auctions and wiener drugs. We’re hoping that the new Google Adsense advertising won’t be too intrusive for you all, and hopefully will make a good suggestion every once in a while too.
Though even with Adsense, you still never know exactly what you’ll get. Let us know how it goes for you.

We’ve gotten a lot more readers (Hooray!) since the last time I asked for some photo input over at our flickr pool. So far we’ve got one pic from me, and a bunch from Laura (Thanks gurl!)
We know our readers are the smartest, prettiest, and most talented blog readers in the whole wide world, so do us a favor and share the fruit of your artistic skills with us. It will give us some good illustrations for our noticeably naked posts.
Find out here how add to our flickr pool if you don’t already know.
