Hi Jeff
This error
NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Usually means that you have got a NoneType obejct back from the database,
and you can't very well ask what it starts with, computer says no.
If I were you I'd spare an hour and go through the two screencasts on this
page with Michael.
http://blog.michaeltrier.com/screencasts
Download the movie file and watch it and do it as he does, pausing etc etc.
If you go through those videos and still have the problem, then ask again, I
doubt it though and it's a good exercise nevertheless.
