    That rss page on your website here is impressive, you should tell more folks about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a very slow dial-up connection in Kentucky and it’s rather daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P
