Thanks, GomeDome...
That IS very helpful. I just decided to plunge ahead anyway. I can kind of see why this gets addicting.
Since you were so helpful, I have another question for you or anyone who has an opinion on the matter:
If you have works in progress, do you really feel comfortable putting them up here?! And isn't anything we post here property of the website? I have refrained from putting original work here that I actually hope to do something with down the road, because I'm really sensitive to the plagiarism issue, and because (it's been a while since I read the exhaustive agreement) I thought I read that everything here is property of Blogit. What should I do?
