They have lots of suggestions that tend to increase your followers. <br /><br />Also, nice suggestion for the lack of graphic problem.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349943468006750659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-15325454377993227102012-10-10T13:06:59.399-04:002012-10-10T13:06:59.399-04:00Pam - very good point.
