Thanks to the SIGCISers who responded. The results are below. </div><div><br></div><div>On a random note, a few people couldn't load my website, ie, they time out. For awhile I've had this problem that folks at certain locations (usually from home) can't get my webpage to load. As far as I can tell, it does not correlate to OS, browser, platform, etc, because if these folks change locations then they can load it. If anyone out there is tech savvy and has a tip on what the problem might be, I'd welcome your input.
