Update on Grou.ps and Ning Services
Last week I sent a message off to my Ning customers giving them a heads up on the Ning situation. Now I'm going to share with the rest of you.
As you may know, Ning will start charging for its services on July 20th. Click here for details.
A non-customized Ning will be $2.95 per month and a Customized Ning (with your own graphics on it) will be $19.95 per month. Yes, you read that right. $19.95 per month. A lot of downline groups are using Ning for their downlines. That means you'll have to start paying $19.95 for downline Nings.
UNLESS….
you move to Grou.ps. I recommend Grou.ps if you want a free forum option. Go here for more information.
If you are currently on Ning and you need to move in order to avoid the new monthly charge, I can move all your graphics from Ning to Grou.ps. Ask about the fee for moving.
I have successfully moved Ning graphics to Grou.ps and I'd be happy to help you.
Happy Wedding Day to Pete and Julie!
You two lovebirds enjoy your special day!
This post is a greeting of well-wishes to our good friends Pete and Julie!
I'll be attending their wedding today!
Weekend and Upcoming work…
This is a busy weekend. If you don't get an email response from me this weekend, its because I will not be at home for most of the weekend. Today is Pete and Julie's wedding and fun reception!!! Yay!!!! Sunday I have volunteer duty for an adoption center and I have a family reunion. It will be hard getting on the computer.
I'll be back at work on Monday morning.

Color Change Fun starts today!
Well, this is it… the last 7 days of June are upon us… and its time to share color changes! Out with the old, in with the new! For the next 7 days, I'm featuring blogs that have been color changed for the new catalog season. These demonstrators wanted to shed the old colors from their blog designs in favor of the brand new selection of colors in the new catalog!
Today I'm featuring Dee Yates…
Who will it be tomorrow?

The big "Design Grab" starts at Midnight CENTRAL time.
Only one person can purchase a banner/blog design. So if you try to pay for a design and it won't let you, that means the design was sold.
Its first come, first serve. So if you want a blog design without waiting and you like one of these "customer rejects" you'll need to be here at midnight Central time July 1st if you want "first grabs". These designs are sold at a $5 Off discount. If they don't sell in 6 months, I mark them down again 6 months later.
Also, if you decide you want additional items to match your design, yes, I can make additional items… but if you want the design you need to "grab" it by purchasing online and I'll invoice separately for whatever else you want.
If you're on my list for design work and you decide one of these will suit you, but you've already paid for a design, you'll need to pay and "make your grab" through paypal to make your claim so that no one else can grab it first. I will refund what you've already paid to get on my design list. I'm not responsible if the design you want was grabbed up if you send me an email asking about it and I don't respond before someone else grabs it. (Yes this has happened!!!)
I have to do it this way to prevent a design from being sold "twice". Its to make it fair for everybody!!!
Thanks!!!

New blog layout option for you!
Recently I've had two customers who requested Fluid-style blog banners. I can certainly make Fluid-style blog banners, but until recently, I haven't had anyone ask for them. Now that I've had some requests, I've decided to add the Fluid-style layout option to what I offer!
The new design option is called "Contempo" and currently it is available for Blogger users and Typepad users. I expect them to be available for Wordpress users shortly. There is no extra charge for installing the Fluid-style blog banners in Blogger. Typepad users need to have the ProPlus account and will need to pay additional for installation through BlogsbyHeather.com
Would you like to see this new layout option in action?
