    Matt, I want to design a cool banner for my TypePad-powered blog.Do I have to buy expensive software for that?

    Thanks for any help or advice.

    You could buy expensive software, or see if a Web designer you know might do it out of the goodness of his/her heart :)

    Well, maybe I spoke too soon.
    Shortly thereafter, my computer was severly crippled by what appears to be some spyware that consumed all my available memory. My “work horse” couldn’t even complete its start up cycle.
    I lit up my Matt Man signal in the sky anticipating a sure salvation, but to no avail.

    Then, mild mannered Biang flew to my rescue. With his lazer eyes he identified crafty spyware and with a few quick strokes, he annilated the buggers.
    Sorry Matt Man, SuperMike is cyberspace’s new hero!

    Seriously, spyware should watch out.
