Fantastic definition work
Hehe…thanks! Some of the sample phrases I just pulled from what people actually said. You all sort of wrote it for me! Thanks!! 😉
Could this be a badge you stick on your site?
That’s a great idea Kirk! Hmmmm…sure! I think… just have to figure out how best to do it. Just an image in different sizes you think for people to download? (I’m not sure I’m clever enough to figure out how to provide embed code, but that would be the coolest) Let me know your thoughts!
I thought of that. I don’t really have that programmer’s brain either. I know that at different times I’ve stuck different emblems on my sites. Not sure how I did it. But…if you could figure it out…it could/would build your brand.
Yeah, it’s an awesome idea! Okay…I’m going to try and figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help (oh yeah…I’m totally enlisting you to help me by test it once I figure it out by the way! Hehe)
Absolutely.
I was actually thinking of how to explain this on my blog, and then I saw this. Good timing!
Perfect!! Hehe…and your lovely post is coming soon!! 😉
Can’t wait!!
