  Thanks, Tina, I’m glad you like it… About the Fresh Press, if I have been Freshly Pressed, it’s news to me. I’d be thrilled! (Maybe I’m not receiving all the emails from WordPress?!) 🙂

        I’m so sorry Babsje, but I deleted it after I read it. I’ll see if I can find it on their site and forward it.

        It was in the Newsletter and to get it again I’d have to subscribe again. Just go to the Daily Post main page and subscribe. hopefully you’ll get their last issue. Its a fun monthly update anyway. Good luck!
