A Good Time is Blog Time

I have recently added a new Subscribe2 WordPress Plugin to this site to streamline the way new users can subscribe (or old users unsubscribe, heaven forbid) to the blog. The Plugin is available from Subscribe2 and can be installed in the usual way.

A way to enhance and improve the aesthetic presentation of your blogs is to utilise graphics as part of your presentation. Photoshop is an Adobe product that has pretty much become the industry standard for editing and managing static graphic files.
