Hooray for me! Sold two more prints. This time over at forums.somethingawful.com

They have started a sales thread selling work by a number of artists and someone ordered two of my prints. That’s a total of 4 sales in 3 weeks.

All I need to do now is make a sale on Etsy.com as all my sales have come from Folksy or SomethingAwful so far!

As the title says, I have added some new prints to my Etsy shop. No little people or Jelly Babies this time, just some of my “normal” photos like this one:

Buy a 10x8 print of this infrared willow tree shot - click the image

This one is an infrared shot of a willow tree I took a couple of years ago. Everyone thinks it’s snow or ice, but it’s not. In fact it was taken on a very sunny, hot day in Beechurst Gardens in Haywards Heath.

I have just added a “subscribe to me” widget over on the right hand side of the blog. If you sign up, you should get regular emails telling you when I have made a new post. 

…..asuming it works OK!

Hooray! I go away for Christmas for a few days and whilst I am away, I sold my first ever item on Folksy.com!

Aces!

It was a print of this:

I tried making a blog using Blogger.com but after 30 minutes I got annoyed. There was hardly any flexibility, the themes were all a bit samey and I would have had to put up with an address that was something like http://dansphotographs321.blogger.com

I think www.dan-jackson.com/blog has a much better ring to it. 

Seeing as I pay $10 a month to Dreamhost to host my main site – www.dan-jackson.com I thought I may as well use the services I pay for and install a nifty Wordpress blog. 

Things that are great about Wordpress:

• The “Dashboard” interface is bloody ace. So easy to use and so many options
• The themes are great. All free and far more interesting than the Blogger ones. 
• All in One SEO pack? Bloody brilliant. 
• It’s not Blogger. 

Just realised, I have mentioned my Etsy shop for at least 10 minutes. Go there now and buy my stuff.
