- A Paypal link has been added above as well as on the Ledge. The necessity of this option is discussed here. I am working very hard on revamping sections of the site and the Blue Letter Archives is first on the list. It looks awesome and will debut in the near future. All of those that make a donation to help us keep this site online though can get a sneak peak now!
- The discographies are finally back online! At 4:15 this morning, I was able to finally make the correction to the script. Apparently I just had to change a string that read tr/a-zA-Z0-9_-.//cd to one that read tr/a-zA-Z0-9_\-.//cd all along! And I mean this literally. Silly me...why did it take so long?

- The Penguin is back online now after being unavailable for a week; click here for details on what happened. It is now being hosted on a dedicated server and should be significantly faster. Please report any problems that may encounter to me at penguin@fleetwoodmac.net. I already know that the discography and review sections do not work. I am working on correcting that as soon as I can.
August 10, 2003
- Penguin Q&A Sessions - Questions and answers have been added to Bob Welch's section every evening since it started. Check out what has been asked and answered and ask your own questions! Only a week left!

February 18 - March 5, 2003
- New Album Discography Directories - The changes made in this time period are just too many to list. Corrections and resorting all over the place! John has checked and rechecked everything and I am starting to phase out the old listings. If you see any mistakes with the new set up, please report them.
March 4, 2003
- Added a discography entry for April 15th, Say You Will album!
February 17, 2003
- Added the album covers for the following albums as kindly submitted by John Fitzgerald: Blues From Mars, History of British Blues, Ready For Eddie, Blue Delicacies, Son Of Rock, Blue Jug, Dave Kelly, The Ballad Of Fred The Pixie, Hipshakin' - Live In London, Live At Half Moon Putney, Chicago Blues, Lily The Pink, Homesick James Williamson And Snooky Pryor, and Therfu.
February 16, 2003
- Developed a whole new navigational menu system into the new discography listings. It can be found on the Fleetwood Mac Discography page.
February 09-15, 2003
- New Album Discography Directories - 'P' through 'Z' albums have been added-- 779 entries in all. The hierarchy of directories has changed a few times and is probably now (semi-)final. The searches from the solo discographies (Official Fleetwood Mac Albums, Fleetwood Mac Appearances, Solo Appearances) are now operational and display the results in decreasing chronological order (this was no small feat). John Fitzgerald is going to be proofing the new structure against the old to make sure we have everything and I am going to work more on the design. PLEASE do submit reviews for your favorite albums...it looks quite empty now as we just added this option for about 400+ albums that did not have it available before.
- Added the album cover for Me and the Devil; thanks to Mario Pirrone for sending it to us.
February 08, 2003
- Second Hand News - Added entries for Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. Thanks to John Whittle and Rick Vito for the information.

February 06, 2003

- Added the album cover, link for preordering, and tracklisting for the upcoming Peter Green & The Splinter Group album, Reaching The Cold 100. Thanks to Mario Pirrone and John Fitzgerald for the information and formatting.
- For the past two weeks, John Fitzgerald and I have been working on a new navigational system system for the Penguin's discographies of 700+ albums. It is an extension of the album review script and you can access it here. We recognize that there are still hundreds of albums to be added, hundreds more to be reclassified, and issues with the sorting order and the layout. However, even though this is a work in progress it is quite functional and the submission of album reviews is welcome and strongly encouraged.
- Moved the February important dates up to the main page onto the scrollbar.

- New Waddy Wachtel Section - Check out the link at left for a very, very comprehensive biography, discography, and interview with Waddy Wachtel. Kudos to blackcat for pulling this all together, as it has been very difficult working around Waddy's extremely hectic schedule. He is quite an artist whose discography and experiences read like a Who's Who list for Rock and Roll. And of course he is no stranger to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks fans. Please check it out...it was a lot of fun helping to put this together and I hope you all enjoy reading it!

This was the last year we will be offering calendars for sale.
