Salam waleykum, readers!

As you can see, we have a lovely new look here at MMW. I hope you’re as excited about it as we are!

I also hope you can forgive the terrible job I’m going to do with this week’s Friday links. I’ll be honest: I thought I could do a quick linkup job last night. When I looked at my Delicious inbox and saw 100 new links, I knew I was wrong. So I’m just going to cut and paste all the links here (yes, all 100 of them), without my usual finesse or snark. I’ll try to delete duplicates, but since it’s 10:53 pm on a Thursday night and I’m pretty exhausted from the excitement of a new website launch, I’m mostly hoping I can get through the cutting and pasting without falling asleep.
