Daily SearchCast On Hiatus Until Nov. 8; Webmaster Radio Hit Hard By Hurricane Wilma

As I blogged earlier, I'm on vacation this week, as is Chris Sherman while Gary Price is travelling at a conference. Despite his traveling, Gary was going to diligently keep the Daily SearchCast going this week, and we were considering having a guest host do it next week when both Gary and I were gone. However, Hurricane Wilma hit our podcasting partner Webmaster Radio hard. They're based out of Fort Lauderdale. Daron and gang over there have evacuated to Orlando. His home was one of the few in his neighborhood that came out OK, but the lack of services meant they needed to get out. For you Webmaster Radio listeners, Daron tells music will continue throughout this week, then shows should begin returning next week depending on how conditions develop. As for the Daily SearchCast, it will be back on November 8, when I've returned from vacation and hopefully (and everyone in Fort Lauderdale and South Florida) are more on their feet. And just in case we've got people who only get news about the podcast by listening to it, here's a short MP3 file that recaps what I just wrote.
