Separate Keywords With Space In Zazzle
Figuring out how I’m supposed to separate keywords with spaces when you go to create your products in Zazzle took more time than I care to admit. I finally found an answer by opening the “Edit product details” panel (for an existing product), going down to the “Tags” tab and clicking on the highlighted link…

Marketing Camp
I’ve launched my marketing campaign for my latest book “The Yard Next Door” (working title), and I hit a small bump in the road and thought I’d blog about it. It took me about half a day to set up my Facebook business page (specifically for the book). I did a few things to initiate…

When Your Job Interview Was Just a Scam
I went through an entire interview with a scammer. It felt so real, and I really wanted it to be real. The interview itself took three and a half hours – time I could have otherwise used to turn salvaged pallet wood into something more useful. Some of you might be thinking, ‘why are you giving…

Typogram, Typography, or Calligram?
I’m making a series of animal illustrations by using only words and letters, and I was really confused as to what to call the genre. So far, I’ve found three words that sound like they should mean the same thing, and when Googled, yield similar results. I thought it might be important in posting my items for…
