Wanted to pull this post in from the other version of the guide, that way it shows in both threads, since we don't yet know which one is going to become the more active version:

Byrth (sp?) had also posted some interesting BLM stuff with some good ideas in another thread that seems to have gone off the radar for now. Guessing that thread is down for moderation like this one was. Maybe we can get those macro samples pulled in as well if it shows back up. Will keep an eye out for it to shows up again.
