Jayne, I really liked "Sunshine", but I did read it a long time ago, so no telling what I'd think of it now. Still, I definitely agree, give it a go and change it out, if you find you're not liking it. :)

LethalLovely, I love your new "name note" (I got my chucks on). LOL!

Chinyere, to get bold and italics, click on the (some html is ok) link above the comment box for the how-to. To add covers and/or just a book title (with links), click on the (add book/author) link above the comment box. :)

To bold etc go to (some html is ok) at the of right of the comment box. Instructions are there scroll down to find for bold

To get a book cover go to "add book/author" above the comment box. Type the book title you want in in the search box, once it comes up scroll to the bottom of the screen, chose add cover, go back up to the book you want and click add. Should be all done!

Hope that helps, if not ask some more :)
