OK – I give up. I am a Tuts Plus Member and I tried posting this yesterday. On Windows Computer with IE (never had an issue before). It is not there. No link – no picture. If the rest are seeing this – I must figure it is not an April Fools Joke.
Where in the Heck is it? And why won’t you post my message here??
