Awesome!

Thanks Frank. I do appreciate it :)

Not sure how I would go about doing that with Feedburner. If I look at my feed,
I see all
the thumbnails to my videos so I dont know what, or how I would change things
there.

I'll look into it, ask around, dig up what I can and see what I can do.

Again...thanks for changing the thumbnail :)
