Sorry we missed you! Last week we had to change locations (Georgia's Bake Shop has become too small) and at the moment we are still looking for a suitable venue for general gatherings. Are you subscribed to the mailing list? Please do!

Also, you mentioned the meeting place is "listed"... do you mean somewhere here on the main blog or on the Wiki? I was wondering if people were using the wiki to list meetup groups/locations, so we can prevent such difficulties as you experienced.

I got the location from the google calendar posted a few weeks ago.

The link you included does not resolve correctly for me.

(Thanks Robin)

This link should work. The other one has some extra text - probably intended to be a tag of some kind - that fouls it up.

Yeah, it was intended to be the link title attribute--in Markdown, of course, but I didn't close a quote around what was supposed to be the title attribute's value.

I'd really like to be able to preview comments here. It would prevent me from further embarrassing myself.

If you care so much not to have a * on the date, you can create a draft top-level post and post test comments there. Yes, a preview would be better.

Comment text is formatted with full justification - because the link is too long to fit on the rest of the line, the text before it is spread out to meet the right margin.

I see. Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if we can get that fixed for next time.

ETA: I give you Karma for helpfulness.
