I've just added another new feature to hartandmelissa.com. When you visit our site, you'll notice "Hart's Widget" on the right-hand side of the screen. If you wait about 2-3 minutes it should connect and tell you whether I'm online and...

How It Works: You can change your screen name by clicking in the "edit nickname" bar, located near the bottom of the chat widget. To chat, just type into the middle text field (there is some grayed out text that basically says "type something here") and then hit enter. If I notice you are online, even as a generic visitor I might initiate a chat...so don't be surprised if your computer beeps and some random message appears in the chat box! This feature is powered by MeeboMe.]]> tag:www.hartandmelissa.com,2006:/test//1.76 2006-08-02T03:49:41Z 2006-10-12T04:36:35Z
