Thanks for the correction Deborah. The first correction you listed was right: http://www.tinyurl.com/2alsln, and I have fixed it in the post (I had the last slash as a period instead). Thank you! It works now :)

The tiny url link didn't work for me. I'd be really interested in seeing what Gary had.

I can't get that URL to work. I just get an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error.

Whoops and that gives a "page not found" error. This search seems to give results though I'm not sure if it's what you/he was referring to.

You've got a typo in your tinyurl - should be www.tinyurl.com/2alsln.
