Thanks, glad you like it and are spreading the word.

Pictures - Yes, we do plan to add a photo gallery sometime in the 
future, as well as a number of other features.  And we will, 
depending upon how quickly the funding comes in.  As with the rest of 
the info, I'll set that up to protect the location and identity of 
those owners who want privacy, but still want to show off a bit. ;-)

The Last Straw contributed a sizeable chunk to get the SB Registry 
going, and the Straw Bale Association of Texas put in a couple 
hundred as well.  I've been talking to CASBA, the California Straw 
Bale Assn, and we may be able to get them to kick in some as well. 
But if anyone else wants to play, you're certainly welcome.  I'll be 
more than happy to put up a page to recognize those who have 
contributed.  If you do it through The Last Straw, it can be tax 
deductible.

And if you don't have money to contribute, don't worry - that's never 
been too big a deterrent in strawbale circles.  Just get the people 
in your area who have built with strawbale to list their homes or 
other projects.  The success of the SB Registry really depends upon 
getting as many SBs listed as possible, so whatever you can do will 
be a valuable contribution.
