I am totally digging into this as a n00b, and maybe I’m making a fine point that isn’t all that important, but I thought it was neat. — There’s a difference between a few of something and lots. A few books (even hundreds of books) – you put them on your shelf. The more books you […]
All, sorry, I don’t have pictures to post – but I do have the link to Jared Hagan’s Flickr pool, where he will be posting the success stories, etc., when he gets that far: http://www.flickr.com/groups/2011ppwc I don’t want to lose the link!
