Friday Favorites - Week 32

Hi everyone! Time for another edition of Friday Favorites!  I have a quick question for you this week.  I was wondering if you guys would like for me to host this as thumbnail linky. It seems like everyone is using these now, although I can name at least a few that still use the old-school version like I've been using.

I've used the basic version, largely because the links load a lot faster.  I don't know about you, but even with a highspeed connection, it sometimes take a while for all the thumbnails to load (or maybe I'm just impatient).  And as someone who links up at a lot of blogs myself, I do like that with the basic linky, there are one or two less steps in the linking process.  But I've decided that I would poll you guys and see which you prefer.  So if you'll just let me know in the comments, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
