Default Adding data from Form to empty rows in spreadsheet.

I'm trying to add data to the last empty row in my worksheet. Using an
example from contextures which has...

'find first empty row in database
lRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

However, my form adds data to the first empty row then when I try to add
another entry it over writes this entry.
How do I get it to write to the next row and so on?

This is what I'm using (from http://www.contextures.com/xlUserForm01.html):

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lSite As Long
Dim lElement As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("tblConditionDetails-Unlinked-19")

'find first empty row in database
lRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

lSite = Me.cboSite.ListIndex
lElement = Me.cboElement.ListIndex

'check for a Site
If Trim(Me.cboSite.Value) = "" Then
Me.cboSite.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please select a Site"
Exit Sub
End If

'check for a Element
If Trim(Me.cboElement.Value) = "" Then
Me.cboElement.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please select an Element"
Exit Sub
End If

'copy the data to the database
With ws
.Cells(lRow, 2).Value = Me.cboSite.Value
.Cells(lRow, 3).Value = Me.cboElement.Value
.Cells(lRow, 4).Value = Me.txtDateRec.Value
.Cells(lRow, 5).Value = Me.txtDescrip.Value
.Cells(lRow, 6).Value = Me.chkPhoto.Value
.Cells(lRow, 7).Value = Me.chkReport.Value
.Cells(lRow, 8).Value = Me.txtDateReport.Value
.Cells(lRow, 9).Value = Me.txtComments.Value
.Cells(lRow, 10).Value = Me.chkRemedy.Value
.Cells(lRow, 11).Value = Me.txtDateRemedy.Value
End With

'clear the data
Me.cboSite.Value = ""
Me.cboElement.Value = ""
Me.txtDateRec.Value = Format(Date, "Short Date")
Me.txtDescrip.Value = ""
Me.chkPhoto.Value = False
Me.chkReport.Value = False
Me.txtDateReport.Value = Format(Date, "Short Date")
Me.txtComments.Value = ""
Me.chkRemedy.Value = False
Me.txtDateRemedy.Value = Format(Date, "Short Date")

End Sub
