Using the reference blog for reference

It could be easier than trying to find the right card hidden in the right place.

-- Several people feel that the night photo is too dark, or too strange
-- we must be wary of university standards
-- the library gets much of ULM's traffic
-- Mike says that single pages should be devoted to single items instead of being large with index links
-- Also there are some issues with the new computers
