Hey, Leanan, are you in Pittsburgh? If you are, send me an email, OK? I'm living in Friendship just this side of Shadyside.

No, I'm not in Pittsburgh (though I visited a friend there in May). I'm just a news junkie. I noticed a long time ago, via Google, that articles that were behind the paywall at the Wall St. Journal site are often available for free at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Web site.

Another tip: you can get a free 14-day trial of the NY Times TimesSelect service. Download up to 100 TimesSelect articles for free, then cancel before the two weeks are up so you don't get charged. (I'm a cheap news junkie. ;-)

Also, a lot of articles that are subscriber-only if you go in a newspaper's front door are free if you go in via Google News. Google must have some kind of deal worked out.
