The Minneapolis Star Tribune has been publishing Pappocom's Sudoku puzzles for a few days now. Welcome to the Sudoku era!
Pappocom's Sudoku first appeared in the Conway Daily Sun, New Hampshire in September 2004, and it has appeared in The Times (of London) since November 2004.
Don't be put off by some of the complicated-sounding posts in these forums. In some parts of the world they have gotten quite expert already. If you want help, just send in your question, and you are certain to get a friendly reply.
