Skin Changes

I changed the "All American" skin a bit. I got rid of the apples in the red, white and blue basket and replaced it with American flags. One reason I did this is I saw that the apples image was being used on another site. Since anyone who uses iStockPhoto.com can download that image, and since it's a nice image, it's not surprising that someone else somewhere on the web would be using it. But I felt weird about it, like wearing the same dress that someone else at a party is wearing. I didn't build the skin around that image, I just picked it because it fit the skin (it was America-themed and had a white background). I really wanted more American flags for the skin anyway, and more stars...so now I have them.

I also keep tweaking the "Monochrome" skin. I've never been 100 percent happy with it. I'm about 99 percent happy with it now, so I probably won't change it anymore.
