(Unashamed plug:) Please click the “This blog was nominated for a Blogger’s Choice Award” button in the inside sidebar (just to the right at top), and vote for this blog in the two categories it’s running in: Best Health Blog and Best Blog About Stuff.
It’s a great help if you vote in both categories, since […]

Apparently a day or two ago, there were interstitial ads appearing as links to words in the text on the FAQ pages and elsewhere besides the main page. This happened as an error, and I did not know anything about it until a reader alerted me (Thanks FedUp). It’s not my intention to […]

Site Updates:
Added “glossary” page. See tab at top. Please comment there with corrections, additions, and suggested words to add (including definitions!)
Also: updated “bed bug bites (photos)” page (also at top) with links to more photos and more articles about bites.
Changed article on Vikane gas into a FAQ and posted it to FAQs page […]

Thanks to learnthenet for including us in the “Ten things You Can Do on the Net This Week” (#2, get the bugs out of your bed!)
Learn-the-netters: you might want to read our FAQs.

You can click here to see a map of the last 90 or so visitors to the site. It will look different from what I describe below, because I am writing about what I saw there about 4-5 hours ago. Now it’s almost midnight in New York, and the Aussies are starting to […]

Hey folks,
I have had one alarmed message from a Bedbugger already — that the “Tip Jar” (new, right sidebar) knew his/her name. What is this? It’s a system where you can make a donation, if you ever feel you want to. It’s run by Amazon, and if you’ve been to amazon.com before, […]

Hey Bedbuggers,
One way we can make the bed bug situation better is by talking to reporters about what bed bugs are really like. I spoke to a reporter today about the blog, and she asked me to help her find some local folks to talk to about their bed bug experiences. You can […]

Well, I think we should all experiment a bit with the forums.
The blog is a place for posts and related discussions.
But you can post your own questions on the forums. If you have a “tale of bed bug woe” or a question of any kind, start a new topic on the […]

Thanks for your patience as I am dealing with a few glitches. The font size became enormous in Internet Explorer.
This isn’t quite the right look for me, but I changed the template to this one so that everyone can read the site with no problems, while I work on getting look the way I […]

More basic information:
It occurs to me, since I keep recommending people register, that registering may be somewhat of a mystery. Sorry about that: here’s the deal: if you register for this site with a real email address, it will “remember” you and your nickname when you write a comment–you won’t need to […]

Hi all,
You’ll notice the new “do’s and don’ts” FAQ is now in Spanish. It includes a link asking for emailed comments or welcoming questions, which I will forward to our Spanish-speaking volunteer.
Even though I’m listed as the post author (the system doesn’t deal with “anonymous”), I want to express my extreme gratitude […]

Hi All,
If you see this, you’re on the correct site!
I have now migrated the site from bedbugger.wordpress.com to bedbugger.com.
It may not look very different, but it is. You can now register when you comment, and the site will remember your nickname and information.
You do not need to register to comment.
You do need to register […]
