Hey Snoink, whenever I click one of the links I get a window saying "The page can not be found". Is this a problem on my end or yours? I love the setup and would like to use it.

That's what I thought. Just wondering since I wasn't sure. And good job again.

I was wondering about where all my Soapboxs would fit, and if you'd like to archive them or not.

But that is besides the point, lovely job.

SCORE!!! Organization is good, now the lazy portion of yws (me included) will be able to produce relatively decent writing which doesn't make people bleed and or want to gouge out their eyes, hurrah!

Thanks a lot Snoink, we owe you one.

Aye... yes, this must be updated! It probably will... soon. But there's some pretty useful links still.

Glad you like it, DQ. Very Happy
