(I'm here via Still Life's place.) I saw your comment about cows - I was a CowParade artist when it was in Harrisburg, PA, in 2004. Since then, I have found myself the recipient of cow gifts and memorbilia ever since - I just got a new Roller Cowster for Xmas!
Two important things:
1) I've served as a copy editor so long, having the desire to actually read something other than copy doesn't come easily. So that's why my books are such.
2) Trixie going with the flow. Now that's funny right there. Some might be inclined to go further into that, but they might draw back ...
I can't. For the sake of others, I won't. :-)

ER-- links are like so. You just have to put the pointy angle brackets around this information:
(open angle)a href="http://trixieshome.blogspot.com/"(close angle) WHAT YOU WANT YOUR LINK TO SAY (open angle)/a(close angle).
That will get you THIS when it's done correctly:
Trixie's Home
