A quick post (out at the dirt bike park) to apologize for the “mess” … I’m playing around with my new theme and I don’t have everything in place yet.
I’m switching over to the Squeeze Theme and it has a lot of flexibility. It’s been fairly easy to use and understand – they have pretty good video tutorials and you know how I love those LOL.
Please let me know if you see any “issues” or have any comments or feedback as I move along with the theme and the new look and feel – I’d really appreciate it!
Have a wonderful week! *SmiLes* Suzanne
P.S. I’m playing around with the RSS subscribe box so please bear with me … if you would like to subscribe it still works it just looks dreadful! LOL

Thanks Shannon Lilly ~ Come See My Site Review!
And a huge “Thank You” to Shannon Lilly who offered to do a site review for SuzanneFranco.com. He has some pretty nice stuff to say about me and it was quite humbling. Thanks Shannon! If you’ve never had a site review I really suggest you do so. If it’s a good reviewer (uh-hem Shannon is good) than it’s more than worth the cost. We look at our sites so often that we get “used” to them and letting someone else tell us their first impression, any difficulties they’ve had with a different browser, how your content measures up, etc. is very valuable feedback. If you absolutely can’t afford one why don’t you ask someone if they want to do a mutual or reciprocal site review?
Pandora.com
What do you listen to or watch while you’re blogging or working online? I work at home alongside my fiancé (that’s a LOT of togetherness BTW *lol*) and we usually have the T.V. on with the news or the history channel but I actually prefer music. My son, Austin, turned me on to the greatest thing ever … Pandora.com. You enter a song or an artist and it makes a “station” with music that is similar to your selection. Way cool … and I love it. Thanks Austin!
MSN and eBay ~ Get a 30% Discount!
If you like to shop online you’ll love this tip! MSN is trying to boost their search engine business and they’re offering a 30% rebate if you use their search engine to go to eBay and make a “Buy It Now” purchase (here’s the link to the MSN page explaining it) and (here’s the link to the eBay page explaining it). I think I’m getting a new laptop using this offer. The other day eBay added a 10% coupon that worked on top of this offer for a total of 40% off and I think they might do more of those as we get closer to Christmas. MSN is offering similar rebates for other sites but the eBay offer seems to be the best one.
Drawing Winners
If you won a prize in the drawing you should’ve received an email from me today. The email was sent to both you and the prize sponsor so that way you can follow up with them directly if you have a question about your prize. Of course let me know if you don’t hear from them or need any help with getting your prize. Thanks again to all sponsors and participants … You guys rock!
Need Some Graphics?
My online friend Nicole donated all of the graphics that I used to promote my Blogging Idol quest including that so cute “I Voted” button that many of you are sporting on your blogs. She is so talented and very reasonably priced so if you need buttons, banners or other web graphics check out her store or portfolio on MySpace or email her holymoleynicoley AT aol DOT com.
So … there are some tid bits from today … hope something was helpful. If you try out any of these suggestions … do share! We’d like to hear about it so don’t be shy. Besides I try to visit the sites of those who comment here so if you’d like me to drop by that’s a great way to get my attention. *SmiLes* Suzanne
