(Thanks to <a href="http://studeo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Alicia</a> for letting me know about Pixenate awhile back.) <br /><br />Then, I just played with the design variations until I liked what I saw. Have fun!Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-41553323382285111692010-04-06T02:05:26.849-05:002010-04-06T02:05:26.849-05:00How did you know that I'm a lazy person who do...How did you know that I'm a lazy person who doesn't click over from my reader most of the time...don't answer that!
