hey! I’m not sure, about the CSS. I really don’t know much about that stuff, but I did figure out how to do the typepad with my own stuff eventually-I’ll have to just google and follow instructions if I find any. Not today though, didn’t sleep at all last night. Going to go do a load of laundry and pick up something for dinner, and that’s it!:)
appreciate the comment though, and I’m going to check out this post later this evening.
have a good day!
