How did The Muppet Newsflash get started?
There were few sites on the internet with the most current Henson and Muppet news and information, so in February 2005 a small blog named the GelflingWaldo Files was created. The purpose was to simply collect the latest news in one place so that fans could find the information. In May 2005, after much growth and popularity, the blog was redesigned and renamed into the Muppet Newsflash. The blog continues to help inform Muppet fans from around the world. The Muppet Newsflash does its best to provide fans with current news and information, and the latest Henson happenings.
