A couple of people asked about how to follow my blog.  I hope this helps those of you who 
are having trouble.  

Following the blog is easy.  If you use Google Reader, you copy the web address and post it into 
your Google Reader.  If you read blogs through the dashboard on Blogger, you just copy the web 
address, look at the bottom of the box and click on the "add" button.  You can paste the 
website address in the pop up box and still follow the blog through your blogger dashboard. 

Leaving comments on the blog is easy.  The first time you comment, it will ask you for your
user name and e-mail address.  It also asks for your website address, but entering that is optional.
