Hey, Jen, Glad you made it over OK!
I see you're getting into the Personal Space thing already... One tip, though - if you change the default colour of the text, don't forget to explicitly set the background colour too. 
There are a number of "Skins" to this site, and e.g. dark purple on dark blue can seem less than readable... 
Follow this for an example of what I mean:

Anyhoo, apart from that, if you have any questions just click on my name and leave a message on my space.

Drat! Foiled again! They're doing clever things to the URLs...
Copy the address I posted above and paste it into your browser's address bar to see what I mean.

Maybe with some kind of prize..? I think Lè Phantom should win the prize for the best use of smileys, a true master of the art.

Nice display Peet, but you don't count. If you did it'd be like Titanic at the Oscars, sweeping the board! You're like the Godfather to our Michael Corleones (sp?).
