Happy Belated Birthday and Other Hair News

First of all, we forgot our own birthday! The first post was made on BaldingBlog.com on April 6, 2005. We’re now over 2 years old… with over 3400 posts! Where does the time go?

I want to bring some attention to the news feeds we’ve added to the right sidebar from our friends at HairLossHelp.com. Direct links to the 5 most recent articles in their News section, and the 5 most recent forum posts from their Open Topic board. Scroll down a little ways and check them out when you get a chance.

Speaking of news, here’s a quick round-up of news items that I’ve either found or that readers have sent me that I just didn’t have time to write in-depth commentary about. I wanted to provide these links anyway, as they are worth reading (well, some of them are, anyway). Enjoy…
