Sometimes, a link says more than I could ever say. Here are some fragrant little buds I’ve found recently, courtesy of ma.gnolia.

Dawn Foster’s “Startupalooza Twitters” Toonlet gave Toonlet’s Craig Schwartz the opportunity to explain a workaround for the Toonlet-sizing issue with which I’ve been struggling. I thought there might be others who would find this helpful, as well.
