| 2008-07-31 | Mary Pearson | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much. I thought that was the wrong approach because I thought to make it, you had to be syndicated. What type of hardware or software would I need to put in out there in the computer world? I have a scanner but I don't know how to make links. Is that necessary? Thanks again, Mary Pearson |

| 2008-07-08 | H, | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks again for the tips! Yes, it was hard. I was told my cartoon comic characters that I added shading too, looked like a 4th grader. 4th graders and 5th graders to not measure, have the patience to try to figure out proportions (maybe Da Vanci). Thanks for the advice. |
