Not exactly, Anonymous. *It's* is a contraction of it is, or it has, while *its* is the possessive form of *it*. See http://xrl.us/itsits Reply ↓
I want to put hyphens in the arch line, too. "It's our-make-room-for-2010 sale." With the hyphens, it seems clear that the "it's" is correct here. Reply ↓
Actually, the one in the "arch" area at the bottom is correct. 🙂
