Do websites need to look exactly the same in every browser?

Ohhh how I love the holidays. And they are quickly approaching. I remember a time when I used to create 2 or 3 different blog designs just for my own blog during the season. The good old days...how things have changed. But, I still love creating holiday blog designs and since the holidays are all about giving, we decided to give away one free holiday themed blog design.

The rules:
- This contest is open to personal blogs only. Sorry no business blogs or websites.

I am so excited to have in my hot little hands, a fresh hot-off-the-press IT Girl’s Guide to Blogging with Moxie, written by The Moxie Girls™!! I’ve been waiting for this to get released and I am so happy for Joelle and Kathy. They did an amazing job. I’m about half way through and it’s chock-full of info on all sorts of blogging tips and advice as well as some fabulous recipes! (I’m talking to you Miss Chocolate Cream Pie for the baking impaired!)
This is a beginners guide filled with the basic information needed to have a hot blog. And even if you’ve been around blogging for awhile, there are still some interesting interviews with famous bloggers and other tasty tid-bits. It’s worth the read and you might just learn something

For years, we have been supporting the Blogger Boobie-Thon. When it went up for adoption a few months back, I put in a request and I was actually the person chosen to take over the event.
I am really excited and proud to be part of a wonderful cause. Breast cancer can effect any of us, at any time. It’s scary and it’s real. And if we don’t do something about it, people we love will continue to die.
So this year, once again, our fronts are back! The Boobie-Thon kicked off on Monday October 1st and will run through October 8th. So far we’ve raised $4100.00 - less than previous years but I’m still proud of that number none the less.
Please support us by submitting photo and donating to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. You can also link to us on your blog or website.

Six years of tradition has the blogger community sharing, and baring, their chests for the best reason they can think of - fighting cancer.
That’s right, the racks are back Oct. 1-8 and they’re committed to raising more than $10,000 in one week by unveiling Mother Nature’s greatest gifts. That’s right, we’re saying it, BOOBIES.
“I love the idea,” says Melissa Connolly, 2007 coordinator, “If someone’s going to ogle my goods, they can at least make a donation to save boobies and lives!”
No one ever said that bloggers were afraid of expressing their opinions or sharing their ideas. Those are the very catalysts that make blogs the influential medium they are today. So when a joke between friends turned into an empowering fundraiser and awareness-raiser bloggers nationwide signed on. And they’re saddling up again for another wild ride in 2007.
In an effort to gain donations for breast cancer research, hundreds of women and

Remember that house thing I mentioned. Well it is progressing. And we are really excited. This past weekend I drove down to Charlotte, so I could meet with the builder on Monday for the pre-drywall walk through. It was the first time I got to see “the house”. There’s been this promise of a house, and some grading of the land, but now there’s actual something THERE!
And seeing it....that was awesome.
There is still plenty left to do but we hear that the next phase goes pretty fast. We should close in the middle of September but we won’t actually move at that point. We need to tie up some loose ends in New York before we can pack up our lives and relocate to a new state.
As we get information about a definite move date, we will be updating everyone on our schedule. We are planning to be out of commission for a few days surrounding the move, and we want to make sure everyone is aware of what’s going on and that it will be very temporary. We can’t possibly stay away from the internet for to long
