Well folks, it’s six months today since A Load of Bright first graced the internet. As I promised, I’ve added the Must-Read Posts section to the sidebar to mark the occasion. At present, they’ve all been voted for by readers, but I may add one or two of my own at some point. (I’m also having a bit of trouble with the spacing at the moment, bear with me!) Please feel free to nominate any post at any time to join the section.
