Out of Town until May 3rd

I am leaving for the Southern Caribbean but I will still be available via email.  If you have a support question, please include your domain and login information as well as explicit details of the problem so that I can duplicate it.  If you are clear enough, I can most likely fix it before I get back to you.

SU Demos:  I have already done the May widgets and specials pages however you are not supposed to put this information on your site until May 1st (company policy).  So Members Login on May 1st to update your sites.

I have set a post to publish on May 1st (automatically) that will have two sidebar widgets (both Summer Mini & May Scrap Specials) for Americans and Canadians.  I have had no luck with 'future' publish features but I'll also remember to force it to publish if it doesn't (when I remember on May 1st!).

Updates for my 'managed' hosting customers will occur on May 1st as always thanks to my trusty assistant Jen.

SU Color Renovation Widgets

In response to Stampin' Up!'s announcements this week, I have created two graphics for the color renovation for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  As you can see, one features the new color collection and the other the 'retiring' colors PDF.  

 Below is the HTML needed to show the graphic 'thumbnail' with a link to the PDF provided by Stampin' Up!

You may use the HTML code in a blog or website (in whatever way you would insert raw HTML code).  With WordPress, you would go to >Appearance >Widgets >Text Widget (drag a text widget into the sidebar and drop in the code)–remember to 'Save'.

I am not familiar with Blogger or Typepad, but Heather O'Grady is an expert and has directions on her site how to embed widgets, so you should check with her.
