Testing links - please pay no attention :)

**UPDATE**
 
It's all fixed now thanks to Blogger Help Forum! They discovered some weird "useless" html code on a post, so I deleted the post they found it in rather than just trying to isolate it. And as soon as I did that, everything was fine. Whoot Whoot!!
 
I've been having issues with my last two posts with links and comments not working correctly, so I wanted to have a test run to see if I can get things to work correctly.  Please pay no mind to me as I try and work this out. :) Thanks!

Window Deco Die with WC Series 8 Set 1

Hello AI Fans!!
Today I've got a card to show you and I used the beautiful new Window Deco Die Set along with the WC Series 8 Set 1 and the Window Die Set (#4619)!  I love all the different things you can do with a window die!! With the Window Deco Die, you get a total of four dies PLUS two stamps (curtain and valance)!!  For this card, I only used the curtain and the curtain rod dies along with the curtain stamp. You can see the curtain die actually cuts slits for you to thread the rod through! Genius!!!
