Well, I think THAT helped … !!
I’ve got to admit, I’ve been doing a little bit of jiggery-pokery, on the blog.
You’ve probably already noticed that — on the top bit of the page, when you get here — there’s now some Tabs: the one’s where I’ve put ‘The Point’ and ‘The How To’.
Well …

I’ve added …
Let me know if any of them are any use, folks: a lot of the free ones are handy!

Yesterday’s teaser saw Trevor, Libellous and George all putting in answers, with Trevor bagging the Official First-In-Clap, and a score of 5 out of 5, Libellous getting 2 out of 5, and George getting absolutely zilch …
Just so you know, George, I tend to be a touch comfier knowing where people have found me: I know both Trevor, Simon and Libellous personally, and Angela(DjAlfy), Andrea(@pinkylips29) and Kaiju through Twitter.
Which is why there’s a Name/URL option on the ‘Post a Comment’ section …

Trevor
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.
Some day I shall be President.
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
