I was out of the Golden Oak (or maybe it's Pecan...?) that I pretty much use on any shade of wood. It's nice and light and just sort of fills the color instead of adding to it. You know what I mean? Hope that helps!

Thanks for the feedback on the Read More ...Hi guys! Thanks for the feedback on the Read More click throughs. I know it sort of interrupts the flow of reading/scrolling - I don't love it either. But I added the feature because several dozens sites have been lifted my content through straight up copy and paste. Having the click through doesn't completely prevent that from happening, but it makes it WAY harder to do.<br /><br />Also, most of my posts have more than ten photos and several posts have more than thirty or forty! Crazy right?! The jump just helps keep the front page cleaner and reduces scrolling for people who don't care about some of the more lengthy tutorials.<br /><br />Thanks for hanging in there with me while I figure out the technical stuff. It's not one of my strengths, but I'm trying hard and want to do what I can to protect my content.<br /><br />xoJenny at LGNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425576060240501896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-12444131426328254792014-04-04T13:46:35.396-04:002014-04-04T13:46:35.396-04:00I used a trick from Martha Stewart to clean up a c...I used a trick from Martha Stewart to clean up a chrome base.
