Oh Tim!

You are such a fountain of valuable info! I think it's awesome that you investigate products and services so fully before you recommend them. Time is spared for all this way.

Of course I'm going to go check out wordpress more thoroughly now than I had previously, play around and test...that is, once I gain access to my website again.

Thanks so much!

Laura
