No More Snowflakes

Ranting:
Ok... so Christmas is over, winter is turning into spring and the snowflakes are melting. In case you haven't noticed we have disabled the winter theme, and the new default theme, is 'BlueMarvin'.
If you have this theme enabled, you will see pictures next to blogs, rants, comments, etc... Please submit your own picture by the method below. Pictures are 85 pixels by 85 pixels, I believe that the system will resize accordingly. If you do not upload your own picture, we will upload one for you. Mwuahhah!!
Click on 'my account' on the left side of the window. Then, under your account, click on the 'EDIT' tab. Here you will be able to change various settings on how you use FreakishlyHappy. One of these settings will be : "Upload Picture" with a box underneath. Click on the "Browse" button and locate the picture you want to upload. Note: You can do this repeatedly to change your picture at any time.
If you don't have a picture, let us know, I'm sure we have one of you. Also, if you don't know how to correctly crop and resize your picture, you can either tell us which one on our site you want to use, or email us at John@FreakishlyHappy.net with the picture and we will crop it for you.
We're doing this because we really want to add pictures to add to the identities of the people posting.
In addition, we have also removed the 'preview before post' option for comments, so you can type in the comment box and immediately post it. And we have also added the comment box directly under the content, so you need not click 'add new comment'. We hope that this will lead to more comments, as we look forward to hearing from you!! Please note that the added box will only post to the main comment and not reply to anyone elses comment, to do this, just click on the "Reply" underneath the comment you want to reply to.
Thank you for making this site part of your day. We enjoy feeding you new content, and we are very excited to get comments and discussions.
John and Joni

Good to read a bit more carefully.

When I first read this blog, I thought the jest was that you removed the snowflakes... YAY! and that you changed the default. I don't like to read manuals or instructions.... In fact I am often chastised because of it.

So I just commented, and had some troubles.. not major... just got me confused since it was different... because I did not read this instructional blog first. Sometimes I guess it is best to read before jumping in...

Love the changes. Hated that I had to press post twice. Like it that there is a reply box right after the blog. Makes for easier/quicker replies! YAY!
