Aaaron thanks, what you have is a great place for me to start. I can |
2 |
work on this steadily until May when you get the time. Hopefully I can |
3 |
have a good first or second working draft of the entire site up and |
4 |
running by then for us to tweak into shape. |

Sorry my site was down. I restarted that box (kernel upgrade) and |
7 |
forgot to restart gorg. I have it in my local.start now. If anyone gets |
8 |
an error please let me know, thanks. |
