It's May 20th, 2006, and this is The Candid Frame. Well, thanks for joining me again.

I want to say a special welcome to all those new subscribers to the podcast.

Seems that a lot of people took on my request to email others about the existence of the show,

and the numbers jumped up dramatically after the last episode.

So I want to thank all of you who are helping me to let other people know about the presence of the program.

It's really very much appreciated.

I had a couple of emails regarding the blog site.

I had activated the commentary function of the podcast, but I had required registration on there.

And that was primarily just to eliminate all the spam that you inevitably get when you have

an open email or a commentary link on a blog.

But I'm going to disable that.

So if you have any comments about this show or any of the other previous shows,

please feel free to post any comments freely on the blog.

I'll just contend with whatever spamming gets in my way.

And also, as well as requesting that those who have it, email someone about the show and let them know that they're around, I'd also love to see some more commentary on the iTunes website or on the Yahoo podcast website.

I have one comment up on iTunes right now, and I would just love to see a little

more commentary about the show in individual episodes. I think when people are cruising

iTunes in particular to find a program about photography. I'd like to kind of have some opinions up there to help spur people to listen in on the show.

But thanks again for all the people who have been there from day one and all your new subscribers

for joining the show.

It's really a lot of fun putting it together.

Today is going to be a first in that I have finally figured out how to use Skype and the laptop to record phone conversations.
