Is it okay to use the WI logo in blog posts? I always like pictures as they make entries more interesting, but I obviously don't want to breach any copyright laws.

Also had a idea that it might be nice if there was a button that people could add to their blogs/ websites which would link directly to this site?

Sarah, I'm not sure about the WI logo - it was on the previous site and we just transferred it over.

Thanks though for the suggestion of a button - see what I've put here:

Thanks Lloyd and thanks for your talk last night it was really interesting. By the way if you or anyone else knows any good guides to HTML and/or a way of getting trackback enabled on Blogger I'd be most grateful.
