Are you selling retired stamp sets on your blog?

Here are some buttons for demos to use on their blogs to link to retired stamp sets they have for sale. There are a variety of colors to choose from! Pick one, download to your computer, upload to your server! Then create the link!

 Instructions for linking these at Typepad:

1. Download button to your desktop
2. Upload button to your file manager
3. Click on the file when you see it pop into the file manager and go to your browser url field.
4. Copy the url
5. Go to your Typelists and start a new "notes" Typelist
6. Type the following:
<a href="Put the link to your ebay listing or retired stamps store here"><img src="Paste the url you just copied here"></a>
7. Save
8. You may or may not need to republish. If you don’t see it appear, republish. Also, you may want to move it where you’d like it to appear… you do this in "Design" area of your admin. There is a tool there for moving things in your sidebar.

Here is a free button for demos to use in their sidebars to link to the September project! Feel free to download this button free!

After I moved this blog, I forgot to put the paypal link back up on the Pricing page. It is back up there now.

I’ve deleted my old Typepad blog for good now. However, I am noticing that some of the graphics I had posted in some links and pages on this new blog disappeared along with the old blog. I just have to fix them. I tried to catch and fix all the links before I deleted the old, but didn’t catch ‘em all. Right now, customer blogs are the priority on my list of tasks.

36 Hour Design Marathon

I’m currently on a 36 Hour Design Marathon to get caught up on design work. So far, 24 hours has past… another 36 to go… I have to get tasks crossed off my list of design work to do!

Recently Cindy Soto contacted me because she wanted me to build a blog on her privately hosted server space.

I was up for the challenge!

Here is Cindy Soto’s new look! Not only did I design her new look, I also uploaded all plug-ins, set up her gallery, spam catcher, wrote some custom HTML for her pages, transfered all her Blogger posts to her new blog and resized her sidebar items. Click Here to view her new blog!

When Robin Clark ordered her banner, she wanted one inspired by a cake she saw one time on Beate John’s blog! Beate used the cake as an inspiration piece for a stamped creation. Robin wanted a banner inspired by it!

Here is the cake:
