In the Trenches

I added a simple Photoshop Workflow aimed at showing how I get to a web image (after Markus') in the (Scroll down to the bottom when you get there) Cafe Forum.

Man, is anything going on in the world I should know about. I swear I've been glued to this computer for the last month or so. And lord preserve me - it's all been about selling. Last night I found myself up at 2 a.m. for no other reason than I had the brilliant idea of lowering prices and adding a few more prints to the 5 x7 section (since those are selling like the proverbial hotcakes).

Poor kitty. Doesn't know what to make of these odd hours. These are his hours for prowling and here I am with all the lights blazing clicking away on what seems to him to be - I can only guess he thinks the keyboard is a new-fangled scratching pad.

And naturally FTP connection was giving me all sorts of grief. Did some investigating after getting a no help response from the ISP and saw that I had some extra goodie for advanced FTP turned on in Dreamweaver. I haven't touched that particular goodie since I installed the thing, but now the Advanced mode was the cause of the problem because when I unclicked it - everything began to work as advertised. Someday, when I'm rich and famous I'm going to hire a webmaster to deal with these idiotic problems.

Anyway - if something important is going on outside my apartment - please let me know.

COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I interrupt the general meandering of this blog to announce that prices have been radically and lovingly lowered in ye olde Photography Store.

The reason: sales were dismal at the old prices and the holidays seemed like a good time to do this slashing (that's an original idea - Christmas Sales).

Everyone was buying the $20 prints and a some medium sized $90 prints. So I tried to make the range from $20 - $90.


My marketing consultant advised me to remove the FREE FEDEX SHIPPING FOR ORDERS OVER $150 but I think he's skating on thin ice right now. Never hire your relatives to do your marketing, especially if they're still in junior high-school.
