I've finally gotten the blog to work!

If only I'd sat down and read slowly before, this probably would've been done last year! Anyway, the new ecommerce website is up. The forum works. And now I've got the blogs working. I'll let the guys know on Monday and we'll create their accounts so that we can all post our thoughts, complain about bizarre Dell case issues (here's your venue Peter), and our insights on what makes these things tick (and sometimes go BOOM!)
