Excellent post on the update of @steemitboard. I was trying to log on all morning without success, then when the site was finally back up, WOW! The background for my board is blue (cause I'm just a guppy with minnow dreams.)
I did notice while putting my board together that the links I took off of the new award icons weren't working. I noticed the (www) was missing from the link so I tried and once I put those three letters in with the link, all of the new images appeared as they should.
I like my board to link back to each award not to mention that when you receive new awards using the image link text they automatically update so you don't have to open up photoshop or what have you to knock out a quick achievement board.
