That works, and I will use it in the future. Thanks. However, if the subject is not "educating Spencer Graves" but "how to make "www.r-project.org" more user friendly, then it still might help to display as "Address" the actual web address of the archive page rather than "www.r-project.org". It may not look as pretty, but I'm for function first and cosmetics only if they don't interfere with functionality.
