I got the bears on the header. I had to save the bears with the transparent background as .gifs. I did not know .jpg couldn’t do a transparent background. Interesting. I need a bit more experience with pixel editing, I see. Other than the bears, the theme is exactly the … Continue reading →
I need to run the motorcycle today; however, we’re getting heavy rain. Maybe tomorrow will be a bit better. Instead, I’m preparing to go to Colorado Springs for a couple days.
