All submissions should go through you, be approved by you, edited for content by you.

Certain elements should remain solely a Will enterprise. Like Best New Music, for example. Others endorsing albums/bands to that extent would go against the personal nature and spirit of this place — you sharing with others what means most to you.

But if it’s an album review, band dump, guest playlist, or cute little indie rock girl that you would have gotten around to mentioning anyway, why not omit a few steps and accomplish the same goal?

Not pressuring you. Just thinking out loud.

How do I get an icon? I’m growing tired of the “casper at dusk” image that sits there now.

In the spirit of community that you seem to be trying to foster around here, have you considered opening up to guest contributions?

You know, actually perform the duties of an “Editor in Chief” as opposed to “Reviewer, Writer, Editor, Publisher” duties that you currently fulfill.

That way, you’d free up time and effort to your new obligations, keep SAL from stagnation, and bring about the community element you are trying to conjure. I know I’d contribute.

Just a thought.

Oh — that package I sent — I got it back. Insufficient postage. Rats. I’ll send it out again soon.
