Of Reprehensible Persons

Of scammy scammers scamming…

ceoln

rep·re·hen·si·ble (\ˌre-pri-ˈhen(t)-sə-bəl\)
adj.
Deserving rebuke or censure; blameworthy.

Just to give rebuke where rebuke is due. And/or to vent a little. 🙂

Anthony Weiner is a walking punchline, and should Just Go Away. If an oppresivist Republican was doing this I’d love it 🙂 but Weiner is just hurting the Progressive side every time he (or his organization) opens its mouth. If he were a uniquely effective force on the side of good (see below) I would be more conflicted, but apparently he isn’t. (I am a bit of an Alex Pareene fan, I admit.)

On the other hand, Eliot Spitzer has been one of the few people in power willing and able to get all up in Wall Street’s face and at least threaten to bring some justice to the thoroughly entrenched criminals there. Which makes it sort of a pity that he’s an entitled oppresivist hypocrite

How Do You Bloggers Make Money? I’m Confounded…

Dearest readers and followers,

I’m not trying to be aggravating, I swear, but I don’t understand how you make money from blogging. Can one make money from having a WordPress blog? How do you guys get to “live the life you want”, get to travel, have a life, etc.? I have none of those things. Quite frankly, I’m single, job-hunting, relocating/moving, mostly-broke, and am looking for a fun way to make money on the side. I have 2 revenue streams at the moment (full-time job that went part-time + Zazzle store), but I could always make room for more as long as it’s not going to violate my privacy or go against my work ethic. Ultimately, I have to get a full-time job, but I tend to be a workaholic and even with a full-time job I can find time to write…something I love to do.

I see many of you have links to videos that show me how, but I’m asking if someone will cut-to-the-chase and just tell me. I can’t afford to spend money to make money at this point, so I’m hoping it’s not a multi-level marketing thing.  I’m listening…

Will you please help a Cousin out?

¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
Belle

New Zazzle iPhone Cases…Some Designs Kinda Run Off The Case…Um…

DUDE!

I’m not angry or anything, but I’m frustrated – when Zazzle released their newer iPhone cases, they automagically added our designs to their cases and released them. THANK YOU! 

That said…some of our designs didn’t end up centered and wound up wrapping around the cases, causing either lettering to “run off”, or the design to look odd or make the case practically un-buyable. Is that a word?

The concept of 3D sublimation printing on phone cases seems to work fine, but I haven’t bought one from Zazzle yet. I presume that most designs are OK to wrap, continuing the effect all the way around the case gives it the cool 3D effect you’re looking for. However, some of my designs only work in 2D, I guess you’d say!

Anyway, I’m glad some of my designs worked out – I just can’t find a way to fix the ones that don’t. If anyone knows of a way to recenter or resize the designs that don’t “fit”, please feel free to let me know….thanks in advance!

Belle

DOH!
