If you want the blog link underlined, it would be:

perioddressdolls.blogspot.com
Uh, I love playing with text styles!!
(Welcome, historical fashion fan!!)
Just let me know if you need the style tweaked. I actually really enjoy doing this.

Oh wow, thank you so much! It's amazing to me that you can do that, it looks so complex! So sorry but could I impose a bit further and ask how I could make my image smaller? As you can see I've managed to get it on there but it's HUGE 
p.s. Gotta love the historical fashions

Code:
<img style="max-height: 150px; width: auto;" src="http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/Jennifer_Cutmore/afternoonteahistory2_zpsbg91hvcw.jpg">Alter the the number for the image's maximum height after the term max-height as needed; I've set the width to auto-adjust based on how you change the height, to match it and to prevent the image from becoming skewed.
The size-limit for signatures here is currently 200 pixels by 800, if I'm not mistaken, so it can be helpful to put the entire thing in a container of that size...
(The background-color is pink in my example, to show the size, but it won't be in the actual code.)
As you can see, the size is a bit over (hence the bottom lines not showing,) but we can fix that without having to shrink the image any more by making the image float over to the left (and giving it a little bit of padding to avoid too much crowding) :
Final code:
Code:
<div style="max-width: 800px; max-height: 200px; overflow: auto;">
<img style="max-height: 150px; width: auto; float: left; padding: 15px;" src="http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/Jennifer_Cutmore/afternoonteahistory2_zpsbg91hvcw.jpg">

Wow thank you very much that is seriously impressive! If I can ever return the favour please let me know! Although playing to my strengths I'd have to repay you in some way related to historical doll fashions It's a bit of a niche market but you know where I am if you ever need advice about vintage lace, bonnet styles or Elizabethan dress patterns! 
Thank you again!

What a lovely idea! I'm such a fan of Regency stories (Mills & Boon is my guilty pleasure and it has to be Regency!) but Jane Austen is definitely the original queen of sassy Regency girls.
Off the top of my head there's a nice regency pattern in this...

and sometimes you get free patterns on Pinterest.
Certainly most of the historical-inspired Pullips seem to favour Victorian styles but Bloody Red Hood's underdress would work. Is she in your collection? If not I'd think definitely cheaper to make your own!

I hope that helps and please do let me know how you get on! I'd love to see a picture story of Emma on her adventures

Ooh, the Little Red Riding Hood-style cloak is period!! 
That settles it... Bloody Red Hood will have to wear a barrel. Emma gets the outfit!
Thanks so much for the links!!
