…When you make something new to put on the site it might ACTUALLY be an idea to at least tell people about it…..
OK, for probably a year or so now I’ve had an Alexa.com toolbar set up for The REG Temple. Now as I own and use a Macintosh this makes about as much sense as an umbrella for deep sea diving as I would have to be using a Wintel machine (PC) to actually make use of said toolbar. With that in mind I don’t ACTUALLY know that it works. It may? It may not? In short I made it for you guys but I forgot to tell you about it.

…Erm, I’ll get back to you all about that!
