belong to --Apple-Mail-335-164794643 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The reason there was no blue line on the note about out Facebook page, was because it required someone to log in to Facebook. That is the case with the link that Blake provided. I thought it would be easier for people to find it from within Facebook. I had no idea you were related to John W. I'm going to miss that store as it's only a few minutes walk from my office. While they do not have a link to their public facebook page from their web site, I did find it thanks to a google search. For those what want to see what a public page looks like it is here: http://www.facebook.com/JWDBooks I also did some poking around, and it is possible to set up a single public page that people can access that has very limited capabilities, but does not require an actual Facebook account in order to access it. I'll have to check and see if we can get something similar set up for our Facebook area.
