Great, glad to have you on board. We've tried to make BoltWire really
easy on two ends: 1) for non-programmers who want to do some fun
stuff without learning a language, and 2) for programmer who want to
be able to get in there and easily tinker with things. I think you'll
like both aspects.
Not sure when or why the site was down. Seems to be fine now. It has
been noted before that it is a bit deficient in examples. If you care
to add some of your own, as you learn, let me know. I can enable your
account to edit the doc pages.

No problem. I was happy to discover the details of how to do this
myself just a week or so ago.

Great, looking forward to them. And to your involvement in our
community. Things are really running smoothly these days with pretty
much all the features we want and very few bug reports (none
outstanding that I can think of, actually). And the community is not
terribly active when everyone is happy. :) But it's more fun when
things are going on!
Cheers,
Dan
