How about a URL, Mudge, as the embedded links from the new RC adverstising all point to an Amazon.com book about children.

Cheers,
China

Hi Mudge,

I think China means a link to the website.  A url is the website address that appears in the tool bar at the very top of the screen.  I assume she means a URL to the donation page but I'm not sure. 

I just gave my son some cash to put into the collection they're having where he works...seemed easier to me!!!

Cheers deddie, I have Harry to thank for that, although I would have thought it through eventually (I try to tell myself :-\)  I've got to the stage where it's nice to let other people to do the thinking for me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I have even delegated the controls of our new HD TV to my wife, as I've not time to read the instructions :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\  :-[ :-[ :-[  I blame RootsChat for that though ;) ;) ;)

Ah, sorry about that, Mudge...I trust the foreign language has been translated by now ;D

Donation made. A very easy transaction to do, with PayPal (although the currency conversion rate stinks at the moment :P).

A nice thought, Mudge.
