Color Combo Site
Hi,
To all you who keep asking me about what's up with the SU! Color Combo site being down… the answer is simply, I don't know what's up with it.
All I know is there is a thread at Splitcoaststampers about is shutting down. All I know is what's in this post.
I sure hope someone takes it over and it continues to be made available. Its a valuable resource.
If the site comes back up and running, I'm sure I'll find out from the thread and I'll change the code for the Color Combo sidebar buttons at that time!
Thanks!

Interesting poll over at SCS…
Danyelle Kessler over at SCS posted a really great poll that lots of stamping bloggers are answering. She wanted to know "What widgets, gadgets, or features of blogs do you dislike." Some of her multiple choice answers range from counters, trackers, third party advertising, blinkies and music players.
The results are a great tool for any stamping blogger to take into consideration when choosing what to put on their own blogs. For example, I was surprised to see that 24% of responders say they dislike slide shows. I’m not a big fan of slide shows either, but had no idea many others felt the same way.
Take a look. Interesting comments, too.
