You can click on a tab and scroll through the different strips and click the one you want to use. Then you can customize it: changing the strip's "headline," adding thoughts or dialogue bubbles to the strips, and changing your avatar's expression.Shonell Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827197354857197637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-80227264452819673712013-09-10T09:28:26.821-06:002013-09-10T09:28:26.821-06:00Thanks, Elle and Sara, :-)
