I’d definitely agree with the rest. An area of the archives with a dedicated JP&TM area would be my preference, too.

How did that happen? Who does this ‘listing’?

Jim: just to let you know, my employer keeps trying to block your site today, because it is listed as a social/networking site.

Thanks guys… I’m definitely not going to delete the posts, but there aren’t enough of them, and I don’t do them regularly enough to set up a separate area to archive them in, but maybe I’ll just edit their time-stamps so that they all show up at the beginning of the archives, then I’ll put a button on site that links newcomers to start at the first comic post rather than the first sketch (one of those “new to JP&TM?, Start here” sort of things. I just hate to throw off the reading experience with constant interruptions.

You may’ve already done this but why not just create a special category that this stuff falls into. You’ve been very forthright in letting people in on the development process and I think these posts are very informative to new readers and cartoonists.

Ditto me!, Kevin.
I don’t like the idea of deleting (you will just want it later.. for, um, posterity) but maybe in the news section or so, so the archives flow.

From the viewpoint of a new reader, I would suggest moving the extra content to a secondary archive, if it is possible. I think this would help maintain the continuity of the JP&TM universe. Just do not remove anything. I love all the added sketches and old strips.
