  Did you know that our blog, also known as the AskWoody home page, contains regular posts that are not part of our newsletter?

  Maybe not. Although our annual survey of Plus members is not yet complete, we know that only 40% of our readers are aware of this. We were quite surprised by that result.

  We’re developing new, bonus content!

  When I acquired the AskWoody business, I felt that we would face difficulty in publishing our newsletters every week, 52 weeks per year. One of my first decisions was to change the publishing schedule to 48 times per year, approximately four issues per month. That remains our official policy.
