A warm thank you to Anna at Anna's Book Blog for the wonderful prizes I won in Contest #1. It was an awesome prize package (the books were on my wanted books list too!): Signed Copies of A Rush of Wings & In the Blood by Adrian Phoenix, a Club Hell T-shirt and a ton of fun swag. When I received the box of goodies, I felt like I had hit the jackpot! Still smiling.

Thanks for the mention!
I find I primarily use Readability for sites that have bad text/background color combinations.
Hi Chris! You're welcome. I really don't like it when a website is primarily black/dark with white/light text - hard to read. Readability will definitely come in handy at those places.
Cool :D
I will check those out.

Hi Blodeuedd! Yes, kid at xmas, is a very good description of opening the goodies from Anna! I'm still riding the happy buzz from winning. *big grin*
