Apologies to my subscribers, but my personal computer stopped working after I dropped it at a conference a few months ago. Because all of the passwords are saved on the cmoputer, I had trouble accessing the site because of security protections from other computeres. I finally found time to fix the issue over the weekend!
Thanks for your patience!
