===========================================


Happy Presidents Day to all you freedom and fun loving Americans!
I know I enjoyed my day off by sitting around and… well… being
free! And it was glorious I tell you.

I wanted to bring a couple of new and exciting things about Flash
Kit to everyone's attention today. The first is this years March
Madness Battle that has JUST begun in the Arena. linkage:
http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=674026 Once again,
Dricciotti and the gang are leading us into another unforgettable
challenge that is sure to be exciting, inspirational and
powerful. This challenge will be surprising for all so stop in
and see the progress.

There is also a lot of work going in the Team Room of Flash Kit
in regards to the Flash Kit Site of the Day or SOD. 3PRIMATES,
RUSHVision, Markp.com and others have all come together with
their ideas, talents and dreams to create a newer, better, more
deserving grouping of SODs. The sites listed in this new section
will be known as CED for Cutting Edge Design. Also, to add to
this concept, Thankful has added to our existing SOD award and
put a nice rotation and flare to the original award created by
Subway. You can see them all right here:
