Okay, I've found a few, just in the tutorial area.  I'm replying online as
requested, but warning, my item #2 could be a little insensitive.

1:  In Brad Hamilton's Freeform Camera position tutorial,
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/tutorials/freeform , the POV source code of a
camera block has some weird formatting.  It looks like the newlines were all
yanked out (probably just need some <BR>'s in there).

2:  In Jonathan Knudsen's "Drawing LEGO Models",
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/tutorials/drawing , there's another POV
camera snippet where he wants to move the camera away from the model.  I was
going to trash this up and down, how Jonathan handles the vaxis_rotate()
code, but then I realized, he's right.  The l3p-generated camera block can
be intimidating.  So...I'll whip up a quickie tutorial on that.

Um, that's it for now.  From what I've seen so far, the site looks good.  :-,

Cheers,
