This is a test -- and I'm looking for your help

That prompted me to look around for a new platform and this platform -- Curated -- might be it. But before I make the switch, I'm looking for some feedback. So, if you have the time, take a look over what you see here. It's pretty much the same clippings as today's edition of The Roundup on Goodbits. Got some feedback? Click and send me an e-mail. And let me know if you viewed this test on your phone, tablet, or desktop. Thanks for the support!
