[Rockhounds] [ADMIN] Rockhounds Website Pee Ess

[Kris Rowe]

Hi Julie,
              I second Don's post. I'm sticking to one AD post per month,
and will be paying more attention to accepted style points.
On clarification, is it still acceptable to add a Blog/Gallery link at the
end of my posts? Inquiring minds want to know!  };)

Be sure and catch up on your sleep!

Kris
