As you can see, Frauke finished with the installation of the new website template and she did a fabulous job! I can’t tell you all how much I love her work. Every single project she’s ever done for me has turned out marvelously. Croco Designs is now her full time job and I can tell you, if she’s got an opening, grab it. You won’t be disappointed in her work.
I’m going to be running a contest - I’ll choose two winners at random from all the comments (from today’s entry until Friday afternoon at 3 pm pacific) who’ll win a copy of any of my available titles, including paper.








Name:Lauren Dane

Alison - I’m a wordpress convert. I used to to my own html coding and ftp everything but this is soooo much easier. As long as I’m signed in, I can edit right when I see something and it’s immediate. Way easier than html and css.
