So I returned to a very shiny gloss effect. Some wargamers like it some dont, it does however lift the colours, and cheers me up for some strange reason.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-69926770948233930382015-07-06T04:09:28.416-07:002015-07-06T04:09:28.416-07:00Sorry about the tardy reply, retirement took over....Sorry about the tardy reply, retirement took over.

You can make the Picture linkable, ie; if clicked on it takes you straight to the other blog. You can give the Gadget the same titel "Dont forget to check out my other blog" and it saves copying and pasting the Url ;-D <br />Makes the blog more noticable as well..up until now I´ve missed it.

Maybe you can re-polish them a little bit and take away the glossy effect - well, then they are usable.
