Oh, and the really easy way to just do an integer to eeprom is:
// writing to address 0 and 1:
int yourInteger=21345;
EEPROM.write(0,highByte(yourInteger);
EEPROM.write(1,lowByte(yourInteger);
// Reading from address 0 and 1:
byte high = EEPROM.read(0);
byte low = EEPROM.read(1);
int myInteger=word(high,low);
Serial.println(myInteger,DEC);
Anything does anything, but this is the quick and dirty for integers....
