OK loves, today we are going to do a little housekeeping.
Hang on to your board, we have lots to discuss.
First up, I want to share some great posts I have read lately:
With school almost out, there are a lot of college kids trying to acquire an internship. If you have a college kid or know one, do them a favor and share Emily Henderson's 15 tips when trying to get a design internship. {But, really it can apply to any internship}.

If you are considering starting a blog or just have questions on building your blog, there is a cool new site called Blog Brunch. It is basically a collaborative network powered by bloggers wanting to share, dream and learn with other creatives in the blogging community. It happens the first Saturday of the month on Twitter. But, they create a condensed recap on their site after each 'brunch' that you can read if you aren't a tweeter on twitter.

If you are confused about how to handle advertising on your blog, Karen, voice of the wonderful blog The art of doing stuff, has written one of the best posts I have seen on The secret world of blog advertising. Go learn stuff.

I have received lots of emails lately asking specifics on items I have featured in my posts. I have come to realize that not everyone is aware of links in posts and how they work. The text in my posts is black. When you see words that are in red, this means that you can click on the word{s} and it will take you directly to a website/blog post it is referring to or giving credit to. All bloggers use links in their posts, although their choice of color of linked text may be any color. Hope this helps!

{I'm throwing this one in as a freebie, just because I like you.}
Another issue I have received emails about--a few months back, I shared that I had accidently deleted photo files within my blog. This has affected a ton of older posts. I have been slowly trying to recover the photos and to reinsert them. I have fixed dozens, but there are still a ton missing. If you are reading one of my older blog posts and you see a 'x' where a photo should be, this is the problem. There is nothing wrong with your browser. Fingers crossed, the photos will be back......someday.

One last thing...if you aren't following me on pinterest {see this...this is a link, lovers!!}, then you are s'rsly missing out. Look at the email I got notifying me of my newest follower:
No joke, ya'll. All the cool kids hang out here.
