Hey Iain,
When signing your comments. Use three or four squiggles like this:
~~~~
That turns automatically into a signature that links back to your home page. Four squiggles shoss your name and the date. Three, just your name.

- *hits head* Doh! I forgot to do that on the last message that I wrote. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Iain's TODO
- Find Animated GIF of Man walking (in ASCII art)
- Create 'color' or 'raised' info box look, via Templates.
- See if printable:[[Main_Page&printable=yes]] Works.
- Verified works in the latest version, catch is that the full URL needs to be written out.
- i.e. [http://wiki.freegeek.com/index.php?title=Main_page&printable Print Main page]
- Update Bellingham whenever possible.

how to spell "propagating"
Yo, Iain:
I moved the misspelled version of the page, made sure that nothing linked to it, deleted the redirect page, and then you recreated the old misspelled one with a comment. So now I've recreated the redirect page, inadvertantly overwriting your comment in the misspelled version.
- Propogating Concerns is a misspelling.
- Propagating Concerns is not.
