Template TOU Posted

It's been brought to my attention more than a few times lately that my templates are being shared throughout groups.  When I first started out creating templates I was naive to the fact they should have TOU included in them.  I've learned over the last few years and even though my older templates do not include my TOU they are now posted in the upper right corner of my blog and are to be followed for ALL MY TEMPLATES - OLD AND NEW.

No sharing in groups please and thank you.
Direct to my blog for download.

Hugs,
