Sorry, here is the right link (I don't know my own page...):

http://www.i-us.com/plughead.htm

I sent my message and then re-read yours and then I understood what you
meant by new category. I still think that we can bug the authors to give
more info personally or on your page, maybe. I am afraid of getting a
page loaded with big pictures that will take forever to load. 
We have 5 entries in the contest now, and waiting for more!
Some tips on typing on the conference. You can use html, so to get a
line break, use <br>, to insert links, use <a href, etc.
