Thank you for the link!
Oo thank you for the mention 🙂
Thanks Syp, the NBI has been great, even though I was a little late to the party. And without something like this (even though I’d contemplated writing a blog in the past), it would have been unlikely I’d have gathered up the gumption to do so.
