But really important people have more than one certificate on their wall, and who is more important than the poet? So I worked this one up, too:

Oh, you want one, too? Just in case, I made up a gender-inclusive blank one. Just add your name and the date, and there you are.*

*It has been brought to my attention that more detailed instructions might be useful. If you are not a member of flickr, you can’t download photos, so first, join flickr — it’s free, and you can always unjoin if you want. Then click here; above the image you’ll see ALL SIZES — click that; then click and download the size you want.

You can then use any photo editing program to add your name and date — now that you have a flickr account, you could upload it into your own account and use Picnik to do this; or print out a copy and do it by hand.

If all this is too much for you, just email me and I’ll send you the image.
