New Feature

In my striving to bring you the newest and bestest from the podcasting world (short of actual content in my podcast) I have researched and will be implementing a little thing that I like to call listmenu. The website has no relevant "how to setup" information and the bulk of figuring it out came from trial and error (try 2 hours worth - sheesh). Below is a small descriptive how to for this "Expandable Listmenu" (hopefuly future people will be able to save their hard earned time thanks to this!).

How To: Expandable Listmenu
1) All list items (anything with the <li> tag at the beginning) needs to have an anchor tag immediately after the <li> tag
2) Any items that you want to be "expandable" needs to have this anchor tag after the list item tag: <a href="">
3) Any items that you want to be non-expandable needs to have this anchor tag after the list tiem tag: <a>
4) You will need to download (and host) the following files: open.gif and closed.gif
5) You only close the <li> tag for "expandable" items after other sub-items. Check out the source code for the example below for a good reference!
6) Triple check to make sure that you close tags in the order in which they were opened
7) If you have tried and failed, indent your source code tags in order (I find that this is the most common error, you opened a tag and forgot to close it)
