    1. Thank Grace.
      Yes there is a lot of work being done but I am enjoying the challenge. I do not know of stamps very much but I am learning the programing for making web sites. This give me the chance to put my new skills to use.

      My goal is to create the whole index as quickly as I can. I will be providing links when I know of them but there are many parts of this blog I have not seen. Later when the index is finished they want me to go through every post (over 100) and find where we can link them to my index.

      Now each writer must connect up their posts to the index as they publish them.
