what about a 'Links' page?

I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of the biggest aurora in history to come and cause a hemisphere-wide blackout and loss of all mobile and telecommunications....
I am wondering about the possibility of having a Links page set up. I know Bart, that this would depend on you for the updating on it, but when you consider only a few links (ok, maybe 10 average) a week are posted by members, it would be nice to have them on list. The reason why I am asking this is for the site Albert posted where you can see (with a delay of 2 hours most) where the most active aurora activity is taking place over the North Magnetic Pole:
www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/pmapN.html
(Incidently, people having problems with this link from Al's previous post should just slot in the 'www.' as it was missing initially, and sometimes would not load (for me anyway)). I had to trudge back through the posts for the past 5 days (when I wasn't sure which Forum it was in!) to find it.
And right now, @23:06hrs, its clear outside witha slight ground fog, and frost is everywhere, I can see the Plaeides overhead.... and I'm surrounded by bright orange Sodium lights (ILPAC, where are you?!?!?) :lol:
Just an idea...
Clear Skies (with the hope of an aurora!)

A links page is literally the next item on my list of things to do here but I have been utterly snowed under of late so I hvaen't had time to implement my grand plans for this place yet! I really would love to be able to dedicate some more time to this place but I am sooooo broke right now that paying jobs simply have to take priority.
How about a link to paypal then - If you like this site please donate some money to the webmaster
Cheers,

TBH I would not feel right taking money for doing this. I offered to do this because I want to do something for IFAS and to help out the Irish Astronomical community in some small way. Accepting peoples hard earned cash for doing it would just feel totaly wrong. I would have no objection to a paypal account to be used for improving the quality of our hosting package etc but certainly not to pay me.
I know this site is not coming along as quickly as I would have liked but it will get done.
