Default Invading Holland (Expat Blog)

I'm an old blogger who has returned to writing after taking a break for a while. I write about my experiences as a accident prone Englishman living in Holland and also draw a lot of cartoons to go with my posts. You can take a look here:

Very nice site - that's the first time I've seen a blog with tabs and would love to learn how you did that.

I usually just yawn and close the page when I read 'journal' blogs - most are nothing but fluff and crap they couldn't force their neighbors to look at - but yours is well written and enjoyable to read. Very funny too!

Thank you both.

I set up the tabs using some pre-made example code I found on-line and changed the images to my own. then I just link to my pages. I can share the code with you if you would like.

That would be very nice of you. Graphic creating addict that I am I already have some buttons made up even.

Actually I figured it out on my own. Check out the pretty buttons under my banner *ish very proud of herself*

Thanks - not as nice as yours though

I forgot to subscribe so I just did that

Also you need to make it easier for people to tweet about, dig, etc your posts

I'm looking into that at the moment. I've added a tweet, dig, etc button in my sidebar but I'm still trying to find a nice way to do that per-post. I don't really like having the big white button with every post.
