Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (Official Video)

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (Official Video from his YouTube Channel) ... completely awesome song that has probably earned people playing the air drum on their steering wheel more "you're nuts" stares at traffic lights than any other song in history. :) What is your favorite song to jam to in a traffic jam?

Sublime Stitching: Jenny Hart

Sublime Stitching: Jenny Hart - A video interview with Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching. The video is interesting, and the site is full of how-to tips and kits to help people learn embroidery.

Something she said in the interview really caught my attention. Jenny Hart said someone once told her "that's just clip art" to which Hart responded "a lot of work went into making it look that way". I might not have the quotes exactly right, but I got the gist of the idea and it makes perfect sense to me! Not everyone wants an intricate tapestry hanging on their castle wall. Heck, some of us don't even own a castle. Some of us only need cute cherries on the corner of a hand towel in the hallway guest bathroom. Boils down to ... in art and design, beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

How-Tuesday: Cocktail Umbrella Lantern

This Manual Photography Cheat Sheet Print from Zazzle.com is currently the most popular and best-selling poster at the site. it comes from a store called Living in the Stills. It sure could help me out. It has been quite a few years since I learned to take pictures with my old Pentax and setting the aperture and shutter speed and such was so much easier on that old 35mm. My digital camera isn't quite so user-friendly, so this cheat sheet reminding me of what all the doohickeys do would be extremely useful. I don't have a DSLR, but I can set aperture, shutter and ISO though I haven't tried for awhile. If this poster is something you'd want too, they're on sale through the end of August. 35% off prints at Zazzle.com with the coupon code DECKTHEWALLS valid through August 31, 2011 11:59pm PT. More information on that promotional offer at Zazzle.

A little extra tidbit for fellow designers at Zazzle to be inspired by... This photographer/designer currently has only four total posters in his store and has the #1 best selling spot on all Zazzle. It can happen to anyone that creates something that is mostly unique and people need. So when you're wondering what to create next, you can either add to the cupcake creations or you can create that ???? that will be unique and useful and will rise to the top. I don't think today it will be my turn to be in the #1 slot because all of my unique items few people want to buy. But, there is always someday. LOL.

More Kissing Themed Gifts at Zazzle.com

A round up of kissing-themed gifts at Zazzle in honor of National Kissing Day. Apparently Wikipedia folks think it's a big deal and had this to say: "Many people may have forgotten the simple pleasures associated with kissing for kissing's sake, as opposed to kissing as mere social formality or prelude to other activities. Kissing can be an enjoyable experience in and of itself." But, for those of us that aren't involved or married ... well, it is Friend Chicken Day! ;)

I see from the stats here at Blogger that someone found my blog today asking the question "do you get Zazzle referrals from Twitter"?

In answer to that question ... yes.

I have two Twitter accounts. One I use to mostly tweet my blog posts that bring people here to one of my blogs. The second Twitter account I use to tweet directly to Zazzle products.

When I look at traffic of "Linkover History" at Zazzle.com, I'm positive that the referral code is working from Twitter the same as it does from this blog. But, I get more referral sales from this blog. Why? My theory is that the referral sales are probably coming from search engine traffic and made by people intending to shop. I think people surfing Twitter are far more likely to be curious about the topic, but weren't shopping.

But sharing the word about our products is via Twitter is very worthwhile. Perhaps someone is surfing on Twitter and finds something that they bookmark and go back to at Christmas 6 months later.
