Well, while I’ve been slacking off this last week my father has been busy on his blog over a C&A’s Wild Images.
I’ll blame my absence from blogging on a reported case of Whooping Cough (Pertussis) in the Office.

Why would they do post this? Well, hopefully you’ve got some well written, exciting content, and a history of producing such content, that a fellow blogger/webmaster feels worthy of sharing not only a link or reference to a specific post, but one to your blog in its entirety.
As I previously mentioned Almost-American.com’s blog badge (featured right in the side-bar) was a quick little Adobe Photoshop exercise for Mrs. Almost American. The badge itself, however, is only half the story. Continue reading »
