Once integrated with StephanieAgresta.com, this blog gets its own look and matches the branding set by  Affiliate Karma.

The highlights of IGG include:

• Web 2.0-inspired fonts
• Tons of widgets in the sidebar to highlight events, social marketing, and blog navigation elements
• Follow her twitter feed, popular posts, and comments found in the footer

Congrats, Stephanie, have fun with it!
