Hi Andie,

The link for the English-language version doesn't work- all I get is "http: 404 File Not Found". Do you have another way to get into this?

Thanks!

Thanks Kat (and Francis) - this link should now work. I have re-done it and checked that it works from the blog, and all appears to be well.
Cheers
