Well...I decided to bite the bullet and get the "Action Guide" printed, at the suggestion of Natasha

see here

Natasha, btw, runs the site on dreadlocks, as far as I can tell.. :)

But...a funny thing happened along the way. I sent the Action Guide to Kinko's. "Please print 2-up double-sided." They can't. The AG pdf won't let them rotate the image. So they can't do 2-up. So, I've written to SBI's support, which I hear is excellent. 4-6 hours is the promised response time.

Phillip recommends using channels, from quikonnex.
see Phillip's Q site here

(BTW -- fwiw, the "quikonnex" name took some effort to, uh, "make the connection."--it's probably not going to be something I will readily remember--just a piece of constructive criticism, Q).
I suspect channels may be the way to go. Maybe. They've been around for a while haven't they? Just not in this form? Phillip wrote that you don't need to download software anymore to use it (but in my brief excursions, I didn't find out how.)

Will channels be the way to go? Well, I think they need to be made simpler for the average person. Right now I don't want to sign up because it's another piece of technology that I'll have to learn. And, between SBI's 600 page document, the MCAT and 24 units, and a few other ideas I have on the plate, I have enough to learn at the moment. What will it take to make channels successful? Well, email really didn't catch on in the pre-web days until aol made it very easy for the average person to use, as well as added tremendous value. This, btw, is sitesell's advantage--they make putting up a website very easy for the average person. Just follow the dots. see sitesell here

On another note, my Inspiron 5000's screen died a bit before Christmas. In searching for a replacement...I bought
this auction . (So, after a while, this link won't work.) Why do I mention this? Because the seller, Brad Small, was just an incredible delight to buy from. So, if you are ever looking for a used computer and Brad is selling it, tell him I sent ya. He's a great refurbisher.

This blogging thing is interesting. I keep thinking of things I want to add. I need the complete blogger's guide to blogger.com, I guess.
