The Pros
Emails are hidden to keep people from getting spammed

How to have a "Grab My Badge"
Categories :
I've gotten a few questions on how to add a grab my badge/button link in the sidebar. It is really very easy to do if you have some basic HTML knowledge.
First off you have to host your button/badge on a third party server such as www.flickr.com
Once you have your image hosted, get the URL: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2695/4190373200_e20fa291a5_o.png
Go to blogger dashboard and insert a new HTML/Javascript widget
Title Your Widget - i.e. Grab my Badge!
Within the content you have to tell...

Some New Designs to Roll Out
Categories :
Bibliophilic . design . Portfolio . Starry Night . Van Gogh
I just recently completed some work for Monica @ The Bibliophilic Book Blog. The design is based on Starry Night by Van Gogh.
Monica wanted books over the stars. The artwork is actually vector (completely done in illustrator) so the header can be resized easily. The file though became huge because of the massive amount of detail that went into the vectorized brush strokes.
