Excellent! Good going!

(Have Wondergirl give you editing tips regarding the punctuation for a more polished look.)

Thanks. It's good to know who the expert is. Clearly mine is plain-jane

Wondergirl, if you see this feel free to edit the article...then I'll study the code to see what you did

I wonder too if there is a wysiwyg editor that could be used. I do see mention of external editors but it's all french to me. I'll have to do some more reading.

Well, I found the answer. It's no: "Presently there is no available 'ready-to-go' package for incorporating full WYSIWYG into the MediaWiki software."

haha, yes I'm published now

Now here's a funny story: I started using that term back in 1999-2000 thinking it had not been used before. My goal was to put a twist on the two ideas/movements of Apologetics and Ecumenism.

I really presumed that I just made it up, but later found that Fr. Benedict M. Ashley used it about the same time in his book.

About 5 years ago there were only about 20 search engine hits for the term...now there are over 1300

...so maybe in a dictionary of the future it's definition will include "Coined by either Rick J or Fr. Fr. Benedict M. Ashley"

...so maybe Andy Warhol was right

...It will be interesting to see how, if and by whom the entry gets edited.
