The response to the Trivial Pursuit answers has been overwhelmingly positive! Thank you to everyone who has written in to thank us and Brandy for our hard work on these daily postings. However, we have also received a little bit of negative email in response and despite that fact, we’re listening to your requests!

A couple of you had asked if we’d suppress the Daily 20 answers from being shown with regular blog posts on our front page and in our date-based archives. It’s hard to avert your eyes if you don’t want the spoiler of the answers, we know! So, with a little bit of code wrangling, that’s been done.

The Trivial Pursuit Daily 20 Answers will still be posted daily, but you’re going to have to visit the Daily 20 Answers category archive to find them. That link will always be available on our sidebar under “BadgeHungry’s Popular Pages” as well.
