Hmm…Well, I already coded the Snaps by hand, since I’m so clever lol.

Will be a pain to switch the template this way, so I should probably get the plugin.

Thanks!

@Ulquiorra – Color scheme saved my life more than once!

@Michael Martin – You’re welcome, your blog is a good resource!

@Shantanu – You’re welcome! ‘Hunting down’ can be quite time-consuming.

@RennyBA – I like Flickr because I bought an account and kept all my pics there, but Photobucket is good too.

You can use the dropdown menu creator for any platform, since it’s just a piece of HTML you can paste in one of your “text” widget. I create my blog (in the sidebar) with that tool. Email me if you have any trouble with it!

@DianeCA – And don’t hesitate to ask when you’ll be moving on WP” I’m sure Rennie can help as well… he will!

@Aiglee – Come on, pimp out your blog! Just kidding, it looks fine and I know customizing can be time-consuming…

@Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” – You’re welcome! The snow has melted, we are good up there.

@kyh – You’re welcome and good luck with the SEO!

@Gary – No problem, I love being a trip advisor. You still have my email, don’t you? Otherwise, just use the contact form in the navbar.

@Ulquiorra – It’s a plugin: WP Snapavatar. You can find it here: http://darkx-studios.com/?p=286

Hey Zhu- I’m liking that Favicon link, thanks. Also, my Taitai and I are thinking about heading from Hong Kong to France for about two weeks in September so consider this fair warning- I’ll be asking you for some suggestions. Have already been to Paris (and we’ll go there this time too) but we’re going to spend alot of time in other cities throughout the country.

Thanks for the tips, I really needed a handly list of where to find information as I am still just learning and I am planning on moving my blog to its own adress and server over the summer when I have vacation…and loads of time to work on it (as you well know we need hahaha)! The color scheme generator is cool, that is something I always have trouble figuring out…and it should be simple, but….

Thanks for the tips!! YOU will be a bookmark for me when I am working on my blog!!

This is so readable and educating – a great collection of features and good stuff!

I’ve heard of Flickr tools, but never tried. So far I’ve used Photobucket a lot and are quite satisfied with that – also because it makes your blog load faster when you don’t fill your own domain with a lot of pics?

To me it looks like ‘Dropdown Menu Creator:’ only works for Blogger? You see, I’ve always wanted to have my blogroll on my ‘first page’ (in the side bar then!) as it counts quite many and will take up too much space.
