It is as easy to use as IE, as I speak from experience. Having our own website has forced us to research a few things, and it seems to be a recurring theme that IE has defects that nag bloggers and web developers because IE doesn't adhere to certain world wide web standards. Or, if you must use IE, upgrade to v7. That seems to present this blog okay. Tricia, as we just spoke on the phone, I love the story on all the gory details it takes to reproduce the GST, and funny how you were able to reproduce not just the materials and techniques, but the 'mistakes' as well. As I mentioned, there is a debate in the automotive restoration hobby on whether a perfect restoration reproduces mistakes or eliminates them. Which is 'perfect?' MJ, go ahead and download Firefox.

I really miss being able to click on the "Lace" catagory to reference some information -- this way I have to scroll backwards through months of blog entries! Other than that, very nice. I'm happy the comments are up again. I’d like to second Devon’s wish for a return of the subject catagories, if such is possible.

However, let me register the hope that there will still be a subject category that deals specifically with the lace part of the project, so those of us who are caught up in this element can refer our friends easily to all the lace blogs. I sent in my sample yesterday! Devon I realize that the site is in a state of transition and that it will be newer and greater than ever.

Great. Have been reading this blog since the beginning and wishing I could be there to put a stitch in or two. Love being at the Plantation with all it's wonderful history. Will continue to ready until the jacket is finished. Betsy The new pcitures are wonderful, very clear and big. Great.
