Still tweaking my website and the email page is giving me headaches- would you guys mind clicking on the link below and try to send me an email?

I can't send myself one and I should be able to- my webmaster can though, but when I try I get the message 'sending message please wait'
but it never goes through.

arrgg-

thanks for the help in advance!

When I selected Contact, the email input window kept changing the @ in my email address to an " and telling me it's an invalid email address. Honest! I tried copy/pasting the @ character into the data field, but it changed to a " again. Using Firefox.

Okay- thanks guys! He says he's working in it- I want all the kinks worked out before my release date-

My release date- I still get all sorts of giddy when I think about that for too long:D

I'm on Firefix 3.5.3, WinXP, big heavy 21" CRT monitor at 1600x1200, 320 gig hard drive, Model M keyboard, ...
I can't get past the sexy book nerd pic :D
I clicked on the Contact link and she's waving at me! Woo-hoo!

So I tried to email her and I see:
Sending message please wait...

It still says that after 30 seconds. Should I keep waiting? Is she worth it? ;)

It told me my message was sent.

By the way, if it were me, I'll add an actual text note to the front page to "click to enter website".
