How do you repost? Lol

[Kathy]

LOL! Go to edit on your post and copy and paste.

When you copy and paste it just like it looks on the page it doesn't work, the covers don't show up. But they will if you go into edit first!

Hope this helps! :D

[Vicki]

Ojhhhh "edit" is the step I didn't know about. Thanks! :)
