kickin' and screamin' ...

Whether I like it or not, I'm being drug into the Blogosphere. It's been ages since I've posted, but now that I'm following a lot of scrapping blogs, it's becoming necessary for me to learn the ins and outs of using a blog. The only thing I know much of anything about is writing, editing, and posting my own posts. I want to learn how to add Shout (or whatever it's called), the blinkies of my favorite sites and designers, etc. Actually, I can't stand blinkies, but I have to use them so Good Fairies out there will bestow me with a RAK now and then. :-) Is that considered selling out?
