You really should have a file set up with all 50 states, it'd save you tons of time!
I have all the code in a word document and I just copy and paste from there. The flags are with each state and I have 4 seperate Than You messages and assorted other silly graphics to thrown in here and there!!!!
I learned my lesson several FReepathons back. The first one I participated in I wrote the code for each post, not any more. Now, I keep the code on a floppy as opposed to on my hardrive and just use it from FReep to FReep!!!!!
