Experimenting with Zazzle

Friday, December 8th, 2006

I’ve decided to experiment with how well Zazzle actually works in regards to selling artwork online. I’ve remastered my photograph, Early Summer’s Hanging Fuchsia, and have added this print to my Zazzle Gallery for sale.

Early Summer's Hanging Fuchsia

It is available in sizes from 11×16″ to 35×52″. If anyone out there has ordered this print, or any other Zazzle print, please tell me your experiences. I’ll be using this as a metric on if I want to continue using Zazzle or not. Think of it as an experiment.

Wow, I’ve finally made it to 2 years.

Dreamhost upgrades services!

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

Well this is very interesting, Dreamhost, the hosting company I use to host this very website you are now reading, has now upgraded their services… for a mere $7.95 a month (prepaid 2 years, $9.95 a month otherwise), you get…

  • 2 TB of bandwidth per month, increasing weekly by 16GB
  • 200GB of disk storage, increasing weekly by 16GB
  • Unlimited domain hosting, unlimited subdomains, unlimited email aliases, unlimited mailing lists
  • Access to a Jabber server
  • PHP4, PHP5, Ruby, and FastCGI support
  • One click auto-installs for WordPress, Gallery2, Mediawiki, and other often used web applications
  • 3000 email boxes, and access to the mail service via POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and a webmail service
  • Shell access, with up to 75 users, including access to Cron
  • A free domain name that actually belongs to you (unlike other providers that register it and keep ownership of it as well)
  • Optional: The ability to sound like a total fanboy/sell-out on your blog

Not only that, if you use the combo code ATPA50 when ordering, you get $50 off your order. That comes out to only $70 a year, and for a great service like this (which I personally give five stars, two thumbs up, and a 10/10 grade), how can you afford to use any other hosting company?

Post 200

Wow, in little over a year, I’ve posted 200 times on my own blog. Also, I’ve put up an Amazon Honor System box to the right… if you enjoy my reading, donating money to Ad Astra Per Aspra would definitely convince me to write more often.

Oh, and here’s a great blond joke.
