Diner Finder Complete Updated for August

- Published Date
[/url] We have published a new revision of the Diner Finder Complete for August that records numerous revisions to the diner landscape over the past three months. You can review and order your own full-color, lavishly printed copy from Lulu.com for still only $29.95 -- that's still ten dollars less than the hand-made, black and white version we used to assemble here in our office.

Another site upgrade
Visitors will notice some subtle changes to the site since Monday night. Because the upgrade and redesign that I implemented last November didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped, I opted to start from scratch instead. Two months later, the site looks pretty solid so far, and had the added bonus of a new, easier-to-use system for our Riding Shotgun bloggers.
We hope that you can now use the site without any further technical issues. If you do, by all means, write me immediately and let This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
