Thanks for the friendly welcome. I've just tested out posting pictures using the "lookie what I grew" feature (nice!). Is there a way to add embeds there? If I had a YouTube video, for example -- it would stay on the YouTube site but be posted to your users. Let me know. Cheers,

It smells a lot more like traditional detergent than I thought it would. I used Fels Naptha. I think once I go through the 6 bars I bought, (I got them upstate. I haven't been able to find it in NYC.) I might try a Dr. Bronner's bar for a lighter scent. I've been putting lavender oil on the dryer balls and the clothes come out nearly wrinkle free and smelling great!
