Hi Claire. Thanks for posting this. It’s a great study. I had so much commentary, I decided to post it on my blog instead of monopolizing yours (www.triecker.wordpress.com), of course giving you credit for sharing it.
I cannot see any text on your homepage; just a black background.
Interesting… I wonder why. This link should bring you right to my post. http://triecker.wordpress.com/2012/12/
