Have you ever bought something online but when you finally get it and open it, you find out the inside is not what you were wanting? Maybe it was that new toy you bought for your son or daughter; or it was the journal you bought which you thought had lined paper but instead has…

Public transportation and water conservation… two things Europe is good at
On my recent trip to the Czech Republic and Austria there are two things that were reinforced to me… Europe is good at public transportation and water conservation.

Looking for a graphic designer? A programmer? Do you need a copywriter or a new logo? There are many times when a website owner or blogger needs a specific job done in an area at which they may not be talented or simply don’t have the time to do. Personally I’ve never been one for…
How would you advertise or market this?
I recently took a great vacation to Prague. What a beautiful city! I don’t think I’d be interested in living there, but I could visit it again. If you love old historic sites, churches and castles… Prague and the surrounding towns are a perfect place to visit. During one of our days in Prague, my…
Flickr plugins and widgets for WordPress

It’s currently only available for internet shipping users, but according to Evan and Elizabeth (UPS reps who left a comment), the next version…
Disappointed with UPS ~ UPS does not offer carbon neutral shipping to WorldShip users
Update: Thanks to Evan from UPS @EvanAtUPS along with Elizabeth from UPS who commented below, I’ve been informed that UPS does plan to add the carbon neutral shipping option in the next version of WorldShip in January. I suggest UPS tell their reps who answer email to give out information like this when asked. If…
Our redesign using Headway is complete
My redesign of this blog is just about complete. I still have a few minor modifications to make, but on the whole it’s done. I used Headway to do the redesign and I’m extremely happy with how Headway functions. Once I became familiar with the visual editor in Headway, it made the design process go…
It’s redesign time!
I just got back a few days ago from a great vacation… pics will be posted soon (after the redesign). I caught up with my ecommerce sites email and orders. Now it’s redesign time for this blog. I’ll be using the Headway framework as I had previously mentioned here. This redesign will probably take me…
