I'm loading both into the browser with the different methods, and I can from firebug that the file is getting loaded, but it's not being displayed. Thus, if I re-sent my auto-center to sites2.events, it doesn't center at all. I'm not sure what going wrong here, I thought I'd followed the examples pretty closely. Thanks (again) in advance.

Your code looks correct to me. The Fixed strategy empties the layer
before adding features into it, which could explain why you see one
set of features only. I'd recommend adding a break point in the fixed
strategy's merge() method to understand what's going on.
