    ok Cowboy, you have been busy! The new web site looks great, easy to navigate and way better than all the pop up stuff on my space. I am going to have to figure out the RSS 2.0 connection but i wanted to try out the response button right away. I am also wondering this morning just what that bell sounds like.
