Meet My South Park Avatar, which I designed courtesy of sp-studio. I saved it as a jpeg and cropped out all the extraneous stuff with help from a certain ten-year-old all by myself. Kind of looks like me, except for the turban -- that would give me a headache.

Valentine cards for fifth and second graders
Cleo's Valentines arrived in the mail very quickly and she's excited, although she's beginning to inquire about the possibility of attaching candy even though the whole idea behind creating personalized photo cards was to avoid having to dress them up with confections.
Typical.
Now I have to wonder how Robey's going to handle Valentine's Day in the fifth grade. He swears he'd rather stand on his head in the corner in water up to his neck stacking greasy BBs on his nose with boxing gloves on than give out Valentines; last year he refused to dress up in a costume for Halloween, although at the last minute he changed his mind and borrowed the puffy sumo wrestler costume from Sweet Talker. Should I stockpile some generic Valentines in case he changes his mind at the last minute because some of the other kids decide to give out Valentines, and at least that's better than jumping off the bridge because they did it first?
Why is raising kids so hard? Discuss.
Teaching our kids about electoral politics
We may think they never listen, but they do; it becomes glaringly obvious when we they begin cussing at us. Robespierre, as one might expect considering his heritage, showed up at the dinner table the other night primed and ready to discuss the election horse race and the procedures for choosing our next president. Cleo, though attentive, was relatively passive, but cousin Sweet Talker was prominent in the discussion. Dinner conversation consisted of a primer on the primaries, caucuses and the run up to the general election.
Eyes began glazing over until we described the primary and caucus season in terms of a basketball tournament. They could identify with the elimination philosophy—and the records of wins and losses.
The adults at the table were taken aback by the depth of knowledge and interest of the peanut gallery. They not only absorb, but they digest political diatribes in ways that we don’t even imagine. What if we could turn the political contest into a video game? They could probably do a better job of choosing the next president than we do.
What do your kids think of this presidential race? Do you take their opinions into account when you assess the candidates?

Using Twitter and other social media to drive traffic to your blog
Julie Pippert uses her words entertainingly to lament the fact that she has very little idea how to use social media and why she should try it anyway:
"I went to the Got Social Media? conference yesterday. Some of the best and brightest were there, and some of the even better and brighter presented. It was an interesting conference, full of good-to-know information, new concepts, attention-capturing speakers, and excellent networking.
So why, after it is over, do I still say I haven't Got Social Media? ...
Each earnest and dedicated social media person tried to explain to me---in the two minutes or less that you can get one-on-one in a crowded room of very social people---how they used social media. The problem is that their explanations were all predicated on the assumption that I knew what social media was. I have a vague idea...
However, beyond, say, Twitter, I'm unaware of the tools, how they work, how to use them, and most importantly, why to use them. I have ethical questions and fear factors, and am obstinate against too much technology that gets in the way of human to human direct interaction...
Building a social media network sounds suspiciously extremely time-consuming, as does maintaining it. It sounds great, but I still don't get it or how I will be able to incorporate it into my business."
I'm with you, Julie. When people start speaking of esoteric technicalities my eyes glaze over and roll back in my head, and I get dizzy and fall off my chair in the middle of Starbucks, bash my skull on the floor, and attract all kinds of unwanted attention. For future reference, I have a similar reaction to any discussion of math or insurance.
Having said that, I can say that I joined Twitter last week and after having tweeted about a dozen times since then, I can also say that however much twittering I actually do in the future will be intended to generate traffic to my blog and to FeeFiFoto.
I have a difficult time blogging exclusively about FeeFiFoto, for a variety of reasons. One is that, as much as I enjoy operating the site, there's only so much I can say about personalized photo gifts without feeling repetitive, redundant, like I'm repeating myself. I recently boasted posted about the Valentine cards we made on the site for Cleopatra to give to her class, and that's perfectly fine with me because it's relevant and topical and of the moment. When Mother's Day rolls around I'll have things to say about Mother's Day gifts; the same with Father's Day, graduations, the wedding season, etc. But, posting daily about personalized photo mugs or handbags, I'd run out of things to say and have to talk about the weather ("In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.") Interesting? Not so much.
I get bored talking about the same thing every day. My ADD's huge appetite demands copious helpings of humor, news, philosophy, gossip and food preparation instructions. Besides, there must be some greater purpose to my klutziness than just a gold medal for producing the most colorful bruises or inappropriate comments. These stories have to be told, so I tell them on days when I have nothing to say about business.
Therefore, the identity of this blog has to do with more than personalized photo gifts, and anyone tuning in on any given day has as much chance of encountering my latest slip and fall story as they do information about photo calendars.
Here's where Twitter comes in. Even though I may not be posting about my business every day, I am working on the business every day in one aspect or another. If I don't have the time, material or inclination to post about FeeFiFoto tomorrow, I can still tweet a few times to mention a graphic or marketing piece or customer service issue I'm currently working on. This is much less strenuous than composing and editing daily blog posts about the site, because I labor over ever word, every comma, every apostrophe. I even revisit posts that have been up for weeks and make minor tweaks and corrections. With Twitter, I can mention some aspect of the business, and gain a little tweak of exposure.
Do you Twitter? If so, why? If not, why not? Do you want to be my Twitter friend? Explain. Show your work.

Updating site graphics in time for Valentine's Day
I get a kick out of updating FeeFiFoto. When I first began using the site I was terrified of accidentally erasing some four years' worth of work that Tony the Engineering Tyrant Angel had labored over, rendering everything in black and white, or in Chinese, or upside down. After more than a year of tentative fiddling, I've gotten it down to a science. Working with Cindy The Magical Design Fairy, I'm building a library of images for product landing pages, as well as a selection of seasonal collages to promote FeeFiFoto's personalized products for various holidays. I don't need to write new text for every site update as long as I use clean, self-explanatory graphics and make sure that an image of a heart-shaped charm doesn't accidentally link to a baseball cap, because really, it would be a bit difficult to wear a baseball cap hanging from a chain around one's neck, wouldn't it?
Today I updated the landing graphic on the home page to show suggested Valentine's Day gifts. The entire process took about ten minutes, and the phone calls begging for technical guidance totaled a big, fat ZERO.
Yay me.
Don't tell Tony, but I'm also learning a teeny-tiny bit of HTML.
On a scale of one to ten, how do you feel about HTML?

I found this startling article and photo at Animal Talk. I'm quoting it here in its entirety, partly because I was unable to leave a comment and partly because it's so striking I just had to write about it.
"At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the “apex predator”, can still fall victim to implemented “team work” strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and “survival of the pack mentality” bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph below - courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.
Not for the squeamish!"

Make your own Valentines
We've already begun to contemplate Cleopatra's 2008 Valentines; Robespierre is way too cool to give it any thought. When I was a kid you dressed up a milk carton to look like a mail box, and your friends everyone in class dropped in a small, cheap card in a plain white envelope with some treacly message like "Hey Valentine! Be Mine!" Then the class indulged in pink frosted cupcakes and called it a day.
When Curley's kids were little Valentine's Day began to evolve. Preschoolers (and moms) dressed in red and pink, and presented their friends the entire class with handmade Valentine cards decorated with Hershey kisses, which made them particularly difficult to fit into a slit in the top of a shoe box. My sister also related how some of the moms bragged of making pink, heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast; she pointed out that Apple Jacks turned the milk pink, and she hoped that counted for something.
By the time my kids started school Valentine's Day had become a powerhouse. Instead of cards with a piece of candy attached, they bring home gift bags of candy tied with real ribbon, or glittery pencils, or erasers, or sunglasses, and goodness knows what else. Just as we've finally disposed of all the Halloween candy and holiday candy, here comes an infusion of chocolates and lollipops for me to sneak while they're at school distribute judiciously.
I admit to having engaged in some over-the-topness. It's hard to resist when piles of candies and gifts are everywhere you look. When my kids were little and there was no homework, or choir, or karate, or music lessons, or basketball games, or soccer practices, or sleepovers, or Hannah Montana concerts -- well, you get the idea -- we took the time to make Valentines with construction paper, stamps and stickers. In later years we pondered the relative merits of all kinds of candies in order to choose the most appropriate to attach to their cards.
But this year, lightning struck in a flash of brilliance. My eyebrows are still singed.
Cleo put on a pink dress, pink tights and pink boots. She perched on a furry purple chair in her bedroom. Robey and I surrounded her with every pink or red stuffed animal we could find. Then, we took a picture, uploaded it to FeeFiFoto, and ordered personalized Valentines.
Brilliant, no? The cards are special on their own, so we don't have to provide candy. No shopping, no decision-making, no sitting at the kitchen table taping Hershey kisses to envelopes. Plus, what a great memento for friends and family.

Write what your audience wants to read
Deborah Ng from Blogging Tips provides some concise tips on blogging to gain eyeballs:
"Anything worth doing is worth doing well. People who read blogs are a fickle bunch. If your blog sucks they won’t stick around. If you put forth the effort to provide a quality resource, they’ll respond..."
As bloggers we cut out the brick wall middleman publisher:
As a tradeoff, however, we're responsible for our own editing and marketing. We aim to reach and develop personalized constituencies, but unless we provide something people want to read our primary audience will consist of little more than one-off readers, our parents, and any bridesmaids we didn't permanently alienate by insisting they'd definitely wear that dress again. It's fine to be a mommy blogger; many mommies are funny, insightful and beyond brilliant. Whatever you're blogging about though, write what people will want to read. Your close friends and family aren't even might be marginally interested in what you had for breakfast, and even if they're not interested they might pretend to be so as not to hurt your feelings. But perfect strangers, alas, probably couldn't care less. Take a look at Suburban Turmoil for some outstanding mommy blogging about mommy stuff; while you're out there, look up Dorky Dad and Dad Gone Mad for terrific daddy blogging.
When you compose a blog post, ask yourself: "Would I read this if I didn't have to?" If the answer is "no", or even "maybe not", you're better off not posting it.
Where do you look for ideas if you can't think of anything to write?

Can you sing the blues?
I wish I knew who wrote this, but all I know is that I found it here:
Music Humor -- Rules of the Blues
"1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."
2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."
"4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.
5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.
8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chompin' on it is.
9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
10. Good places for the Blues: a. Highway b. Jailhouse c. An empty bed d. Bottom of a whiskey glass
11. Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom's b. Gallery openings c. Ivy league institutions d. Golf courses
12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it.
13. You have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You older than dirt b. You blind c. You shot a man in Memphis d. You can't be satisfied
14. You don't have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You have all your teeth b. You were once blind but now can see c. The man in Memphis lived d. You have a pension fund
15. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues.
16. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues
17. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. Cheap wine b. Whiskey or bourbon c. Muddy water d. Nasty black coffee
18. The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast
19. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broke-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
20. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling
21. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie
22. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
23. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")
24. I don't care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues."

Ways to make online shopping less stressful
In case you've blocked it from your memory, we just emerged from a heavy shopping season (Christmas, remember?) and as a relatively new retailer I noticed patterns in some of the ways customers get themselves into trouble. Here is a list of things to remember to make your online shopping experience more satisfying.
1. Consider shipping parameters. This is a big one, especially when you get close to your deadline. If you absolutely positively must have it before Christmas, or Valentine's Day, or Mother's Day, or a birthday, don't put blind faith in any LMNOP shipper because even though they won't admit it, they're all at the mercy of weather, traffic and any number of other possible interferences. If there's any question in your mind about whether your package will show up on time, opt for expedited shipping.
2. Check rules for returns. Internet shopping is incredibly convenient, but there's not always as much leeway as you might think. If you're buying from a small seller or on eBay, chances are your ability to return your purchase will be limited. If you're buying something pseudo-perishable like electronics or seasonal items, you may be subject to restocking fees or strict time limitations. I bought my brother-in-law a camera from 42nd Street Photo, a huge company, and ended up unable to exchange it because their time limit had passed by the time I'd given it to him.
3. Check your work. If you're personalizing something, proofread your lettering or have someone proofread for you. This seems to be a running theme for me. Some customers place orders using misspelled names or the wrong year, and then insist I intervene and fix their mistakes. As I used to tell my clients when I had a business writing resumes, put your work down (save it first!) for at least a few minutes, and then check it one more time, reading from bottom to top and right to left so it doesn't make any sense; you're more likely to catch mistakes this way because you're looking at individual words instead of scanning phrases or sentences.
4. Bookmark the site you're using so you can find it the next time you need it. Naturally, this would be to my benefit, but it will help you in the long run too. If you visited FeeFiFoto last year to design gift calendars but you can't remember the name, having it bookmarked means you won't have to enter all your photos, preferences and information from scratch.
Itty Bitty Living Space ^^
5. Read and believe instructions. We put photos on porcelain Christmas ornaments. You upload your picture, view a mockup of the ornament, move or crop the photo, enter a caption, and place your order. The space where the photo goes is less than three inches wide on any type of ornament. My product descriptions warn of the size limitations; so do the FAQs. Yet some customers persist in attempting to fit a full panoramic photo of their visit to the Grand Canyon, or a group portrait of a family of twelve, and then complain that the photo is too small or the caption is encroaching on someone's hair.
Which leads me to my next point:
6. Don't get cute. Ask questions before buying. I've had more than one customer call after they've already placed the order to inquire casually if something they tried to do on their order will work. That's the same as throwing away someone's lunch and then asking: "Were you finished with that?" Funny in sitcoms -- in real life, not so much. A customer created a caption in her word processor using her own exotic font, and then copied and pasted it into the caption space in our product design wizard. When our system defaulted to a generic font because she hadn't chosen from our prescribed list, and showed it on her mockup, she ordered the object anyway and then complained that it didn't come out the way she wanted it.
Clear As Mud? ^
7. Read FAQs and product descriptions. Granted, understanding some sites' FAQs can be as challenging as reading Faulkner. In Russian. Printed on a postage stamp. Still, in case of any questions or doubts, check FAQs before giving up or winging it. I've spent many hours revamping my site's FAQs to cover every situation I can think of that has come up or might come up in the future.
8. Follow rules. It's surprising how many customers will place an order in the hopes that what they read on my site is wrong. The simplest example is when a customer needs a gift by a specific time, and ignores my clear warning to allow a minimum of three business days for manufacturing before the item is even shipped. If you read it on my site, believe it.
9. This space intentionally left blank. Because I needed thirteen things.
10. Be reasonable. Is it really necessary to have exactly 11.75 point type on your item?
11. Be prepared to accept consequences. If instructions say that personalized items are not returnable except due to a manufacturing flaw, don't call me and insist that I allow a return anyway.
12. Know and use a really good tailor. Okay, this has almost nothing to do with online shopping but it's still really good advice. If you find some astonishingly lustworthy bargain on Bluefly.com but it needs a little alteration, you'll be good to go.
13. Be friendly and patient -- the seller is not your enemy. It's one thing to scream bloody murder at Sprint for having horrible customer service and making it virtually impossible to reach a real person in less time than it takes to bake a potato in a toaster oven. It's another thing to excoriate a small business owner who's doing the best she can. If you have a problem, give me a chance to fix it before condemning me to life in perdition.

The "Green" movement: does it have staying power?
Amy, at Mums The Wurd, showcases the "Dream Green" collection of children's and toddler tees from a boutique in Nashville called Peas on Earth (cute name -- you know how I love puns). These simple cotton tees have cute graphics and captions like "Aspiring Environmentalist" and "Aspiring Humanitarian":
"I'm thrilled that there are boutiques like Peas on Earth out there. I believe they will play a part in making a difference in our children's future. It's all about raising awareness and they're on the right track."
I worry about movements like this one. I worry that protecting and restoring our environment may turn out to be the flavor of the month (or decade), and that we'll move on once we tire of environmentalism. I hope I'm wrong. I hope that by teaching our children habits of sensible conservation we'll foster and perpetuate in them an attitude of respectful and thoughtful use of resources.

How hard could it be to get tickets for opening night of the Hannah Montana 3D movie?
My faithful reader(s) may recall my near-miss in October when I accidentally threw away our tickets to the Hannah Montana concert, after having had to sell myself into slavery to get them in the first place.
Now comes the premiere of the Hannah Montana 3D Movie on February 1st, and I've promised Cleopatra that we'll take all the girls in her grade (even the ones she doesn't like) to see it, and surprise surprise! It's sold out at almost every theater in our metropolitan area.
Not to worry: I've spent the morning on the phone ferreting out the REAL phone numbers of movie theaters, since the numbers printed in the newspaper and on the net take you to Fandango or Movietix or the Feng Shui Diner, where they speak English almost as well as the people who answer the phones at Fandango. I've spoken to movie theater guys who are clearly astonished that a real person could manage to find their phone numbers and then let the phone ring approximately 43 times (I think I caught one of them in the shower), without giving up because after all this is HANNAH MONTANA TEEN POP SENSATION we're talking about here.
And, I now have 28 tickets, and plans to arrive at the theater two hours early with police tape and a stun gun because man! some of those moms can be downright mean when they want to take away the seats you're saving for your entourage.
