I just wanted to let y'all know that I figured out how to put slideshows up. So if you look to your right, there are 8 albums I've put up. The top one is the most current, the one after that is the second most current, etc. I'm hoping to have more albums up soon but enjoy the ones that I've already posted.
Also, if you scroll down on the right hand side, there's a gadget that lets you become a follower of my blog. Sign in and become a follower so I know who is reading my blog. Thanks.
