I'm glad you enjoyed my little bit of fun. :) Cara and Gwen, and anyone else who's interested: it's very easy to create the little boxes of text that go with the links. What you're doing is using the "title" attribute of the link. On Wordpress, when you go to insert a link, you'll see a field for Title - that's where I put in all my extra words for each link. I'm not sure what the "insert link" box looks like for Blogger blogs, so just check for the field that says "title". And if you're hand creating links, just add title="what you want to say here" into your a href code. Very easy and fun! I might do it every now and then. And thanks to everyone who wants one of my corner bookmarks! They don't always come out perfectly, but I'm addicted to making them, and find creating them to be extremely meditative. Plus I get to use up all the pretty scrapbooking papers that I've bought on a whim (I don't scrapbook, so who knows why I buy these papers? But they're always so pretty!). So thank you, and if you want some, just send me an email with your name and address! Thank you, everyone! I’m glad you enjoyed my little bit of fun. :)

Hee! I've seen the corner bookmarks before but I always forget about them. I imagine if I used them I'd actually forget they are there and have too many attached to a single book to count. .-= Michelle´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/galleysmith/~3/dus5MytXmcg/" rel="nofollow">My Bookish Life Changed</a> =-.

I was really sleepy. Your post woke me up! This was so much fun that I went through it a couple of times. I don't know how you did that but it worked great. You win the award for the most technically clever.
