Over the last few months, you may (or may not) have noticed some minor changes to the blog. On the right side you'll see that you can Subscribe to the Guild Review (with or without comments) in a variety of RSS feed readers. My favorite is Google Reader. Basically, it takes all the blogs you read and puts new posts in one place; it looks and feels a lot like an email account, and if you already have a Google account you can use the same log-in information.
And you can now join the Followers of this blog! "Now why would I do that?" you ask. Well, for one thing, it lets the world know that you read this blog. (Perhaps you're ashamed of us, but we're proud of all our readers and would be happy to have your imprimatur.) Moreover, it helps people navigate the blogosphere by seeing what blogs their fellow blog readers are reading. Finally, depending on your feed reader, it can make subscribing to our posts even easier!
You'll also list of recent posts from various Blogs That We Read. The Guild Review is not responsible for this content, but if you enjoy what you read here, you'll probably enjoy some of these too. Like a recent post by Santiago Ramos on the Image blog about the band Beirut (which we've discussed before) and the phenomenon of Americans traveling abroad.Alas, the latest statistics on blog readership have been garbled by the trolls that inhabit the internets, but the indications are a gentle rise above past figures.
As always, many thanks to our contributors and readers!

Woah, it's not green anymore! Do people not like green, Aaron?
Ah, yes, I was fiddling around with new templates today. Among other virtues, this one is wider. What do you think? Improvement?
I like the wideness, but I wouldn't mind a little color. Also, you can no longer see who posted which articles. Is there a reason for that?
I'll see what I can do about more color, though I must say the in-your-face green was getting to me. As for the lack of authorship info - yes, there's a bug that I'm currently trying to fix. But that means playing in the HTML instead of just using the ol' Blogger stuff, and I have yet to identify the offending line of code.
