Ok just the fact that my Avatar is not mentioned it has me livid. Or is it my Avatar did not catch your attention then I need to make a better Avatart. Or is it I intimidate people and that is why you did not mention my Avatar. Mmmmm what to do.
Great Advice

I thank you deeply for the kind words about my handsome face.
I take my top hat off to you!

Carla: thanks so much – it’s quite an honor coming from a graphic designer.
You know, until you mentioned it, I never thought about the Shrek link! Actually the avatar started as a royalty-free image of an entire face that I purchased from istockphoto.com. From there I cropped the eye into an ellipse shape and colored the skin green. Why green? Because I thought it stood out and contrasted nicely with the blue eye!
By the way, you’ve got a really nicely designed site here.

Chanya: The green skin was a fantastic choice. It stands out, big-time.
Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I appreciate it.
