Brian, If you could create a blog entry on your blogs page, that would be great. I'm running real low on time, and this would be the faster than my trying to get approval from another contact to point to his blog.
Just email the URL for your blog and the title of the entry that I should reference. If you can do that sometime today, that'll be great.
