Technically, you want to wrap an img tag in an anchor tag. No way to wrap an img tag around an anchor. Man, I thought they were teaching you something down at UNCC.

I Crumbled . . .

Just over a week ago I crumbled, I broke down, I gave in, I . . . bought an iPhone. Phew, I feel better now that I’ve got that out. I had always said I would hold off until it either came to Verizon or it achieved faster data speeds but well, my...
