Look...Great, Eleyna! I was hoping you'd join!<br /><br />Looks like we are having some badge issues - maybe you can help? I took a look at your blog and it looks like the badge you posted links back to this post. I thought that I made it so that the badge links to the Flickr group, and my own badge in the side bar does. Did you grab the badge from here, or from the Flickr page?
