Problems Loading Pictures on Etsy

first of all, sorry that i've been MIA.  i'm back in technology classes so that's where all my creativity has been taking place.  last term it was making videos.  this term it is building websites.  eek.  that's all i have to say about that.


i have an etsy shop and i've had problems with seeing certain images- specifically my banner when viewed on Safari.  i created the image in Photoshop and originally saved it as a jpeg.  i spoke to one of my professors about the problem and he said that i should save the image as gif or png.


here's how i changed the format:

Tile Words...Picture Words...Typography Words

have you seen these super cute tile words all over the blog world?

I created my first button!!

wow! i created my first button! i was so afraid to attempt it, but now that it's finished, i can't believe how easy it was.  i followed these directions from Oikology 101.

so here it is! would you like one?  please, feel free... help yourself.  ;o)

the code is available <----- to the left. 
if it doesn't work correctly please let me know... in fact, if someone doesn't mind trying it and letting me know if it works, i'll be able to sleep better tonight... thank you!!!! :o)

please check back... i created another button for a monthly party i'm hosting and i'd love it if you came by to play.  :o)
