RIP Gilliard

A brief site update from Jen
Jen here. The last 24 hours have been disorienting and just plain horrible for me personally, but let me say THANK YOU for all of the condolences that have been pouring in from around the blogsphere. In the next few days, we will have for the NewsBlog community:
--A "guest book" that will hold more comments than a standard thread
--An official obituary, which his family is providing to me
For the time being, we have removed the PayPal link--until his folks are able to get into the account, we don't want to make things more complicated. At his family's discration, they may be sending me a PayPal link to a new family account.
The tentative plan is to have this site up for the next 30 days, and to then take it down. Other members of the community are in discussion RE setting up a spinoff site, but I will no longer be involved in any way with the Blog.
Gilly paid me a great compliment by putting me on the masthead. He did this as a way to encourage me to write, but in fact, he did all of the financial work and managerial work--I never had access to the PayPal account, his hosting services, and so forth.
I will try to post more later today--right now, just dealing with...everything. Very tired.
In the meantime, watch this space, and thank you all for all of your love and patience.
