Hi everyone,

I think having an official thread for sharing blog posts with advice is a good way to keep things organized, so I'll be closing all threads with blog links and forwarding them here.

Please share!

Best,
Gabriella

Personally, I like the blog post links to be separated, because this particular thread keeps getting buried. Many times posts of this sort are sufficiently valuable that I think they deserve prime real estate. Does anyone else feel this way?

Laura, I agree! I like having a thread where they're all in one place... but I also like to see these links in the regular stream of things.... this thread gets buried and it seems like I'm missing a lot of important info. I know I should "mark" it, but there are probably a lot of people (like me) who don't use that feature. Just a thought.

Somehow I feel that people need to use some discretion as what blog links to post. If it's really pertinent and helpful, then it's wonderful. If it's just an advertisement, then that's no good.

More Point and Shoot Challenge! I've just made a video / blog post about using GIMP to remove distracting elements in your photos.

http://pareandfocus.com/index.htm/hide-distractions-in-your-photos-you-wont-believe-how-easy-it-is/

This could be dust spots, a speck, spot or blemish that you didn't notice when you took the picture.

In the video I remove a wire that I used to hang a piece of jewelry.

You can use the same technique to remove blemishes in portraits too (I always use this to touch up pictures of myself before I put them online... don't tell anyone... I still want people to think I never get blemishes ;) )

Hiya everyone. I hope everyone is starting to see some increases in sales from the very quickly approaching Holiday Season. With an increase in business comes an increase in shipping. I always try to save my customers some money by saving on my shipping supplies. I wrote a small blog post today about ways to save money shipping your product. It would be great if you all can share your tips on the subject as well.
