It has come to my attention you cannot reply to this blog without a google email address. You do not actually have to have an email address ending with google.com (apparently a google.com address can be obtained by invite only) Rather, if you go to google.com and go under "sign in" and register your yahoo/hotmail/aol/whatever, you should be able to access this. And I finally thought I was technically ept - guess I am still on the short end of the straw in that arena!
