Did you know Dakno is customizing pages on Posterous? Here's what they did for my Posterous. I worked with Bobby Carroll of Dakno. You can reach him on Twitter at @rewebcoach.

Dakno also created my beautiful horse website, Horsealicious.

Here’s a map showing the creek I videoed that runs parallel between Moody Farm Road and Soco Road.
