Oh no! When I tried to click on the link you supplied it wouldn't work it would jsut lead to a page error. Perhaps it is something you can adjust so all of that information can be more attainable from your blog. Thanks for the effort but I copied and pasted it into my url and the information is worth having the easier acess directly from your blog.Thanks again!
