I just update our myspace as well.  You can find it at http://www.myspace.com/jenandjonjohnson if you want to.

I know the image gallery is broken, I broke it.  I just haven’t had time to fix it.  I think I’m switching from wordpress to drupal anyway so I haven’t really taken the time to see what went wrong.
