Great, glad you did all of that. It is already live on the main page. I don't see a privacy statement - which I think should of happened at the same time. I suppose that requires an update to the footer, not sure I know how to do that - but it may be in the mail list here (I'll look) Otherwise, I really think we either add the privacy statement now or pull the GA injection till it is ready. It's a little thing, but not one with much wiggle room IMO. off to search the mail archive for instructions :) //drew
