I recently discovered that I didn't hate jogging as much as I thought I did. This came as quite a shock, since I have avoided running for years (much to the detriment of my derriere.)

What that means is that you can now have friends, create groups, send messages, write on each other's walls, etc, all from this site. If you're interested in what happened under the hood, here goes. This site was based on WordPress up until about 6 hours ago. WordPress is ... Read more...
