PS I started a blog in 2007 that was to be about my efforts to market the method to School Districts, but only did 3 posts at http://nailitnow.edublogs.org, mostly about my philosophy that you MUST give ideas a go (they pop up seemingly out of nowhere and at the oddest of times, so who are we to ignore them or say they won’t work). I am shortly to coninue this blog about marketing my method, especially about how I go breaking through bureaucratic red tape and, if you like, will let you know when I do
