I love the pine barrens, too! And your music tastes are wild! Of course I think the Count Basie band of the 1930s should be in there, but then I did make him the main subject of my book DREAM LUCKY (thanks for commenting, by the way).

You can get a widget at feedburner.com

Just follow the instructions on the front page. I've been told that using these are against Gather.com official TOS .. however, I've never received anything from Gather and if they want to go to the mat over this I would point out that I use my wiget to promote my articles (content) AND Gather.

I've added my own link to the widget at the bottom. The line that reads What's Selling On eBay. It seems the widget doesn't work without something added to it. I don't know why. It could be some sort of nonsense Gather's doing to prevent it. I don't know. But if you have any problem getting setup let me know and maybe I can help you. Just keep in mind what I've wrote here.

Have a Great Day!

Laura- I didn't even know we were disconnected till I got your request. I've gotten tons of requests for friends from people I thought I was connected to...seems the whole friend connection thing had a major glitch lately. I hope you got my reply, acceptance, etc.
