Clicking bookmarklet on home page produces confusing result #27

Say you are a random internet user and you browse to the home page, and
click the bookmarklet link.   You see this message (the one when you
successfully "install" the bookmarklet and click it on the go2.me homepage)

"Warning: Congratulations on installing the Go2.ME bookmarklet. You should
use it when you want to share a web page BESIDES one on Go2.ME."

For the user who just randomly click this first thing when they came to the
page, it is probably quite confusing, and they will likely be lost, think
some random software just got installed on their computer, etc.

Proposed:  Add copy to this page to help people in this situation.  
"Congratulations, it looks like you have successfully installed the Go2.ME
bookmarklet. You should use it when you want to share a web page BESIDES
one on Go2.ME.  If you haven't successfully installed the bookmarklet yet,
Just drag this bookmarklet to your bookmarks toolbar*: <Go2.ME
bookmarklet>"  More detailed instructions could also be useful. 

Also, "Warning: Congratulations..." is kind of funny.  Title is "Error-
Congratulations..."  same deal.

I wanted to keep "Warning: Congratulations...", just cause it's so funny!  But I
"fixed" it now.

The home page link has special case code for clicking on it, vs. dragging the 
link,
so I think this will lesson the confusion.
