We’re not breaking any internet records(!) but gaining a loyal following…

c) Facebook Group: if you’re a member of Facebook, there’s an ‘informal’ darkmatter group recently created with open membership - feel free to join. (You need to be registered with Facebook; search for ‘darkmatter Journal’ in Groups)

d) Posting Comments: You may now edit Preview your comments before posting. [Currently testing this new feature Replaced Edit comment due to problems with this function]

e) Referrers/Links: On the About Info page, you can see how some visitors are finding darkmatter (updates daily)
