Thank yous and Awards

I had some lovely ladies bestow some awards to me and I am honored and delighted. From Donna at http://mytastytreasures.blogspot.com/ I received the Friends award, and from Spryte at http://sprytesplace.blogspot.com/ and Katherine at http://smokymountaincafe.blogspot.com/ I received the Sisterhood award, and from Lettergirl over at http://notgoingpostal.com/ I received the Kreativ Blogger award. I know you already check them out, as I see a lot of you on each other's sites. We are a funny bunch, doncha think? People at work just look at me like I landed from Mars and say "You take pictures of food, put it on the Internet and look at other people's websites who do the same?" Heck yeah! These people get me; they understand that it is a creative outlet and we all have a love for a common theme. What isn't to get?

Two things:

1) I have tried to get just the names of the blogs to work doing that link button thing, and it won't work. I have just typed in the name of the blog after right clicking on the person's site and renaming it, but when I go in after my post is posted and click on it, it goes to an error page. The only time I seem to get it to work is if I use the whole addy. If anyone can give me simplistic answers on how to do it, I'm all ears. For as much computer work I used to do, it was all program based that was written my the business I worked for.

2) I know I am suppose to name 8 people and link to them. I love all of you; I can't pick and choose, so for all of you, I want you to take these awards back to your sites from me.

Have a happy April Fools day and I hope you don't get tricked too badly. But really, the awards are no trick-really, please post them on your sites :)
