Jake,

I like the idea, I think it will be a nice resource.

A few things I noticed right away:

1) Could you add away that I can see all the instructions with out being
broken in to catagories? I have to do a lot of clicking to just browse the
current instructions. It would be nice to just see a list of all available
instructions no matter what their catagory.

2) Is there a way for you to include a thumbnail with the item description
so I don't have to open each link to see what I'm looking at?

I guess I need to get working on some instructions for a few of my models,
might even have to build a few Rail Racer instructions so there is something
in the Trains/Other catagory :)
