**I apologize for the spacing issues in this post! For some reason, my spacing goes wonko when I have lots of links or pictures in a post! I put in a space and it doesn’t show up, or I delete a line and end up with a big gap in my post! If you have any ideas on how to avoid this problem with blogspot, just let me know! 🙂
