Welcome to the (Offsite) Guide to JamesBaquet.com
As you can see below, JamesBaquet.com has a variety of ways to keep you busy.
If you can, just go to my Main page and access the site from there.
So, "why list it all again here?" you may ask.
In fact, where I am right now, I can only access my site through a web-proxy. (This can happen in some countries, and in some office and school intranets.) So I've provided this page as an introduction for those who can't see the main page.
At the bottom of the page, I've also added links to some proxy servers, and instructions for their use.
Good luck! (And if you use a proxy, feel free to ignore the advertisements.)

Using a Proxy to Access My Site
Here are a couple of proxy servers that I have been able to use to view my site:
Unblocker: Click the globe-in-the-web image and enter the URL; click "Browse"
Zend: Enter the URL in the window that says "Enter URL"; click "Go"
How can you get the URL? One way is to click the link above, wait for the page to load, then copy it out of the address window and then go "paste" in the proxy window. Another (for Firefox users in Windows) is to right-click on the link, choose "Copy Link Location," then go "paste" in the proxy window. Your browser/OS may have similar but slightly different functions.
Good luck! Come see me!

About Proxies and Donations
PayPal gets a little funny about taking donations through a proxy. (And if you use the Zend proxy, the buttons don't show up.)
In that case, please just go here.
