Good site about Canon flashes

Plus more. I was researching on getting a new flash unit without breaking the bank for a 20D. This site does a fairly in-depth description of Canon and compatible flashes. It also goes into general flash setups (non-Canon) and was quite informative so I though I'd share it.
The reason for the research is I shot my first wedding (really my second but the firsts was 23yrs ago) for a friend. I tried to convince them that a pro would be much better (and it would have been), but they didn't have the money. To make a long story short, I struggled with a manual flash unit through the ceremony (luckily outdoor, overcast:):) and the indoor (dimly lit) reception. Too much stress for me!
My wife convinced me that I did an OK job under the circumstances, but now I'm looking for a more competent flash for a less competent flash photographer (me). Used 550EX's are still quite expensive so I'm looking at the Sigma EF500 DG Super and the Off Camera Cord 2. I never shoot flash with the unit in the hot shoe (yuck).
Now I remember why I would never want to be a Wedding photographer. Kudos to those that are.
Anyways, if you have questions about Canon flashes, check the link above as I learned a lot from it.
