I've decided to do away with the idea of account-based interaction on the site and go strictly with the anonymous access approach.  Although you can still interact with me (the contact page, the guestbook, FAQ submissions, and the weekly newsletter are some ways to do so), I've decided to simplify the current incarnation of the site by doing away with user accounts.  Based on continued feedback, never-ending site development and my own whims, this may change or may become the permanent modus operandi for the site.  In either case, this is a functional change and in no way will impact content.
