Amazon Facelift

While browsing through lenses yesterday, I was thrilled to see that the regular Amazon module has been touched up. Now the pictures of products actually lines up with the text, instead of being slightly askew. Finally! This small detail was one of the reasons that I always used the thumbnail view in Amazon modules. I found that the abundance of empty space made not having prices and other details available worthwhile. As I touch up lenses, I've been switching all of my Amazon modules, and I couldn't be happier with how it's improved the over all look of my lenses.

Now that it's November, there are so many little bits of catching up to do. I've been examining the Christmas lenses that I've already made, looking for ways to improve them, as well as turning my Hallowe'en lenses into regular year-round lenses as well as I can without deleting too much. Just a few tweaks here and there, and they still have some non-seasonal appeal.

This month the charity drive theme is "Family Stories". I'm glad that I was able to contribute a ready-made lens this time around. I just couldn't come up with a computer themed lens in time for last month's contest. I chose Oxfam, and added my lens to a quickly growing list of great family lenses.

Well, only 50 days left until Christmas. It's time to get to work!
