don't forget you can automatically add an answers badge with the code available towards the bottom of your "my q&a page". easy as copy and pasting.
Anonymous,
Thank you, I'm aware of the answers badge. I really wasn't happy with how it looked on the page (even when I edited the code), and only want to highlight here the Answers I participate in that have to do with health topics. I sometimes answer questions in other areas, but don't choose to feature them on this blog. Thank you very much for the suggestion, though.
Rachel
