while trying to catch up on my blog reading list, i found a couple of entries, If You Can't Beat 'Em...., and Join 'Em on Ith's Blog...i of course had to go play with the mapping toy just for the fun of it...i am not putting my maps up here, because i don't want the slower page loads caused by adding images in osts...the two that are part of my index are a necessary evil, but i refuse to add any more....i like my pages to load as quickly as i can get them to....i was going to add my maps to her entries as comments, but feel guilty about making someone elses blog load slower on my account....i did enjoy the toys though, and recommend you go try them for yourself....thanks Ith for the fun diversion.
