There are some shudder-worthy posts in the early pages of this here blog; but there are also a few hidden gems buried deep in the archives.

I made this quick and dirty {well, not really dirty} video to show you just how easy it is. Have suggestions for other tips or tutorials? Leave them in the comments and I’ll see what I can do! ;-)
