Greetings Julie!
Since your post is more technical than a simple "Hello, world" post, I'm going to take the liberty of moving it to a forum where it will be more likely to get a response. I'm also going to change the title to more accurately reflect the content (again, to increase the probability of good answers).
You also seem quite comfortable with the ideas of forums, etc. Somehow I don't think you'll have much need of the "hand holding" that often goes with first posters in the new user forum.
