It was my "COM" plugin for iTunes. I disabled that (in Tools > Options) and everything works properly now. Here are the instructions.

Isn’t HTML enough? by rgoodwin http://aboutwd.net/webdesign/2010/01/why-have-a-database-isnt-html-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-4 rgoodwin Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:59:31 +0000 http://aboutwd.net/webdesign/?p=47#comment-4 Yeah, I know sometimes working with the databases can be complicated. But once it's working you can do amazing things. You know... By the way, even when we don't know we're using databases, we often are. For example services like Google Analytics, Google adwords, Alexa rankings, maps, etc. That's all done via database even though the database isn't actually located at your site.

I know so much of the behind the scenes work that's done on websites occurs through databases. Personally, the hardest part is learning how to work with and extract the information from the databases so that they show up properly. That's why I'm SO thankful there are experts, like you, who are there to get me straightened out whenever something goes wrong with one of my sites. You give me some good things to think about here. Some ideas for updating and upgrading my sites for the future. Al Hey Rob,
