Great! You'll take the lead on that piece, then? You'll want to work with Brad, Herman, and Phil as to testing and installation. I'm assuming you'll make sure we don't lose any guestbook comments in the transition? That is one of the most valuable pieces we have on the site ... lots of levels of backup would be highly appropriate. :))
