UPDATE: There are some changes happening in these here parts. Because of a new opportunity, I am not able to invest the time I had planned to in adding to my video library. All videos are now free and available in past posts (simply search this blog for specific topics) or in upcoming posts. Enjoy!
The temperature gauge is on the rise.
Team sports are ending.
The school year is coming to a close.
Summer is upon us and for me that mean one thing…
3 restless, active boys at home for 8 weeks. But this year I’m a little more prepared than most. I have plans to do a whole lot of nothing and a whole lot of fun, all wrapped together. There will be a lot of swimming, Scrabble, cheap theater movies, a few day camps and I’m sure some Wii games. And maybe we’ll throw a few trips to the ice cream shop in there too.
So I may not be around quite as much, though I still plan on posting once a week. There may not be a lot of dissertation and discourse type posts, and probably no giveaways. But I’ll poke my head in here and there to say hi and let you know I’m still alive. I just have to soak up this time with these growing, changing-before-my-very-eyes boys.
I knew you’d understand.
But I cant go before telling you about a new and exciting feature on The Pixel Boutique. Let me give you a tiny bit of background.
As you know, I design blogs. This means working with a lot of different aspects of blogging…the graphics, the coding, the layout and template design on three different blogging platforms. I get tons of questions every week from bloggers and clients that need answers to some rubber-meets-the-road, mechanics of blogging questions. I wish sometimes I could just pop on over, sit down at the computer with them, and walk them right through it. Its so much easier to see it visually than to read it over email…for both of us.
In the past, I’ve done many free video tutorials and they generate a lot of views and interest. It’s clear to me that people want to know more about their blog and how to maintain and modify it, but they don’t know where to find quick, easy and thorough answers for the basic (and not so basic) questions they have.
So born out of that, I’ve decided to develop several video tutorials on many different topics. Without further ado…I present to you…
What’s in it for you:
- Lessons on blogging with WordPress, Typepad & Blogger
- Lessons on Photoshop Elements and other topics on graphics
- How-to tutorials that you can play, pause, rewind, play again, etc.
- A permanent file you can save and come back to in the future
- Easy, step by step instructions as I do the process myself on screen or a minimal fee
What’s in it for me:
- An easy way to cover a topic that would take 3 times as long to explain in an email
- The satisfaction of knowing I’ve practically helped you
- $3 per video
Yes, you read that correctly. Each video has an introductory cost of $3. Why, you ask? Well, it takes time to research the topic, create the video and, well…a girl can’t give away all she’s learned and studied over the years for nothing, now can she?
But, because I’m a nice gal, each new video added after today will remain FREE for one week before going into the for-purchase video library. And that’s not all (I hear infomercial music…)! If you buy multiple videos, you get the following discount:
- Purchase any 3 videos = $8.25 (9% savings) – Enter 3VIDEOS at checkout
- Purchase any 6 videos = $12 (17% savings) – Enter 6VIDEOS at checkout
- Purchase any 10 videos = $24 (20% savings) – Enter 10VIDEOS at checkout
As you can see, I have a lot more topics to add…and more beyond what is listed. I welcome any suggestions for topics.
So check back often or subscribe to my RSS feed to be notified when new videos are added.
Happy blogging!
