Well, I had asked what people wanted us to do with the blog and the only thing I got was Bonnie saying that it would be nice if we made all the Webcam Timestamps clickable. So I am on a break from school, bored, and felt like actually doing something with my time! Enjoy

Notes: I am using the timestamps, titles, etc, that were used by Ghent and Bonnie and anyone else that posted timestamps in the Welcome & Announcements Forum.
