We are testing a new WYSIWYG editor on the Blogs! Please let us know how you like it compared to the old one. We hope that this one will not only be much better looking but also much easier and better to use. Go ahead and copy and paste from Word this editor should clean out all the garbage!
So go ahead and try to break it, but please let us know if you do run into any issues, or even better let us know if you like it more than the previous editor.

Now if you leave a comment and someone else comments on the same post, you should recieve an e-mail letting you know that someone else has commented on the post. We added this because many times people will reply to a comment but the commenter may never know about the reply.

Tennis isn't the only thing that the Web Action Team is awesome at doing. Due to overwhelming demand, we have formed a band, a RockBand™.
Here's the line up from this session (which moved me to tears): Bryon Noel on drums, Blaine Sullivan on guitar, Karl Krist on vocals and Jim Coats on Co-op canvas bag holding.
