I found this cool new template (#255) for my genealogy website (kldewitt.com/genealogy) and have started to update all my settings to make use of its features. It’s got some really nice picture handling, especially for the front page, and is super fast/responsive. Check it out if you haven’t already visited the KL DeWitt Family Research Project and let me know what you think of the new layout/color scheme. BTW, if…
I love playing Sudoku, so decided my first digital/printable book would be based on that. I also love colorful critters, so I used cute number “characters” as the basis for the puzzles, especially since this one’s aimed at beginners. (Or big kids like me.) The book is available on Etsy. You’ll then get 4 downloadable PDF files, 2 puzzle ones and 2 solutions ones. You can print 1 puzzle or…
Well, it looks like people at Rageon.com have changed their minds once more re: what their company will be when it grows up. After saying Shopify killed their site months back, Rageon.com was down for a while, taking all my designs (and my pitiful $15 in outstanding royalties) with them. They did, at least, send me my personal T-shirt and scarf order, so I didn’t lose that money, too. (The…
So, if you had a spare $390,000, would you use it to buy a computer graphic of a cat? Someone did a few months back… Actually what they purchased was an NFT – a “token” or bit of code permanently embedded in the worldwide Ethereum blockchain. As a bonus, they got a cute pic of their CryptoKitty sent to them to represent that token/purchase. Not this picture – this is…
Yay! Netflix has finally released a drop date for Lucifer Season 5-B. (Another show I’ve watched every ep of, many of which multiple times.) According to the official Lucifer account post on Twitter, and per D.B. Woodside, we’ll finally see on May 28th what happens seconds after Season 5-A ended. (I won’t say specifically in case anyone was waiting to watch all 16 episodes of 5-A and 5-B in a…
So I ran into some fun with international sales today… My POD (Print On Demand) company quotes prices in Dollars when you create products, but then on international sales converts the cost to the local currency and charges you that instead. The Euro right now is running anywhere from 10-20% stronger, so there’s another chunk of profit eaten up I wasn’t expecting. (Probably should have – I had read someplace…
So I finally found a widget that will let me display some of my latest Etsy designs and I actually got it to work! I added it to the page Order Yours Today Etsy Shop in case you want to see what I’ve been up to. (This is what keeps me up at night as my mind keeps coming up with ideas and won’t let me get to sleep…) Here’s…
So, I’ve hit my first setback in the design area for 2021. It seems Rageon.com and Shopify are having some sort of dispute, so all of RageOn is down for the moment. (Actually, they’ve been down for a few days now with a notice saying it may be a bit before they’re back – if ever.) Of course, this is after I had setup a shop there, designed a bunch…
Last year, 2020, was to say at the very least a dumpster fire. So I decided for 2021 to try to go in some new directions to see where they will lead. One is to have this website. This will give me one place to keep track of all my projects. BTW, since I’m one of these people who’s pretty evenly left- and right-brained, and sometimes gets easily distracted, I…
