Thanks, Amy! I've used picnik, and another similar online site called webresizer.com that I liked. I haven't heard of FlauntR though so I'll be trying it out.
Do you know of an online site that allows you to create from scratch a header or buttons? I used to have programs but lost them in a virus and don't have cd's for them any longer. I don't have money to spend on a program but want to make a new header. I think I have a "brilliant" idea but no way to do it.
Thanks!

Cool! Thanks
Thanks Amy! I have a question for you, please check your email!
I do so much appreciate your tips for blogging! I feel so limited in my knowledge of the technical world and it is fun to learn new things!!
Very cool ! Thanks.
Thanks Amy! These look fun. I'll have to try them soon.
