You're very welcome JanieBelle. I made it just for you. Now get your friends over here so you aren't so lonely in that forum, there!
The reason it doesn't show up in the "recent blog posts" on the sidebar is that I created the item as a story and not a blog post. I'm trying to decide how to treat info about the site -- should it be part of my onsite blog or should it be separate. I hadn't considered that by making it a "story" and thus not part of a blog that it would be absent from the sidebar. Thanks for pointing that out!
...because public space really matters!
