Congratulations on your first edition of BargainBabe, and the launch of your career as an independent blogger! I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
One suggestion… It would be helpful (and make the blog easier to read) if the text didn’t go outside of “normal” borders, as it’s rather annoying to have to click the horizontal control in order to read the text.

I forward all of your saving tips to my co-works here at work, and the second I read you were leaving the Daily News I thought it was another of those cut backs! but I’m glad it was your dissention and I support you all the way.

Loved your Bargain Hunter column, hoping for even more success on Bargain Babe. Please keep posting Lincoln Lunches especially the ones in the West San Fernando Valley area.

Thanks, Ellie! I appreciate your readership. I know what you mean about having the text go outside of the borders of your computer screen, but I believe this is something you can change on your computer so that everything fits. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to do this. I think it is under your View tab. Good luck! ~Julia

Thanks! I plan to eat more Lincoln Lunches, though I am going to expand into the rest of LA. Send me your suggestions and I will add them to my list of places to check out! ~Julia

Congrats on branching out into the land of independence and freedom. You’re going to do great!! Looking forward to your e-mails!

Repeating what I suggested a few days ago that had Ellie’s enthusiastic agreement: Please place your reply to a comment directly under that comment. Otherwise, we have to scroll back up to re-read the comment (particularly those of us with a short attention span!). This gets burdensome when there are more comments.
