 * If it's going to discourage someone, let's not worry about minor changes.
 * Liz is going through the State Archives site to add pertinent links and info to each county.
 * Jana did the badge, but Wilma messed it up trying to make it an internal, rather than an external link.
 * James did some heavy work on How to Find Birth Information in the United States.
