Thursday, Mar 28, 2024 (Sign of Review)

I slacked a bit on daily updates, but I return with our new posts from March 28. New New Leaf Journal Articles I published two new New Leaf Journal articles today. https://thenewleafjournal.com/against-buying-games-from-smart-tv-stores/ An article about a scam game on the LG TV store led me to suggest not buying any games from a "smart" TV store.

Let's check in on Presidents' Day posts... The New Leaf Journal I published an article about the four U.S. presidents who used their middle names as first names. https://thenewleafjournal.com/presidents-who-went-by-middle-names/ I had originally planned to use WordPress' native footnotes.
