Yes, we have a suggestion.. if we could use a beautiful template for this blog, that would be something great to watch for. This will give a different impressions of photos on the blog.

1. Your name
I go by Jellybean on my website. Jelly or Ms. Bean has been a popular abbreviation with many. I have a hard time usually coming up with nicknames for sites. I happened to have a small bowl of jellybeans on my desk when I created my blog and thought why not? So I called myself Jellybean. Most people seem to find the humor in it like I do.

2. What is your blog called?
