Honestly... I don't think I'd like to show clips of the Family Guy on my site or any site which has no relation to the clip being used.

I agree with Danny Sullivan, text is still important because you can input a paragraph or two of quality, relevant content which the page will be ranked for; while with Flash, you can only put so much textual information which won't help the page rank higher than a page with solid text content. Flash sites may start to get indexed or rank better but not against text-filled sites.

I've heard this news before, but haven't heard any solid confirmation or timeline.

in Why Gmail’s 13 New Options Suck and 6 We Desperately Need on Marketing Pilgrim
Hey Andy,
Old Snakey and Email Addict?? Yeah waste of features! I do agree with a white-list function and drag and drop. Those features would really be helpful. As for email forwarding. To fix that, what i do is i forward my emails from the backend on my server/domain configuration. That way, every single email goes to my central gmail account rather than going through google apps.

There are a lot of cool niche blogs out there. But this one was very interesting. It's a blog about vending machines from The Vending Guy! Talk about an audience you probably would never know about! I'm going to start blogging about microwaves or mini-fridges!

Hi Jane, I'm friends with Steven Snook. I just wanted to tell you I love your blog! Because of your twitter post I decided to join....FINALLY.

I started testing out the trial signup with Shopify and they have easy to setup and easy navigable areas in the admin panel. However, the look of the checkout was less attractive with the price of the total order in maybe 32 size font and bold in red. I know you can integrate Google checkout but i think a nicer design would get me to use it. I would also check out storebuilderplus.com, but the only disadvantage is that shopify.com has a shopping network and lets you showcase your products. This gives the store better exposure. However, storebuilderplus.com does have easy integration of setting up your products on ebay. So far I like the easy setup of storebuilderplus.com but do like the theme selection of shopify.

hi doug, how do you change the color of the fonts and text input?

Douglas Karr Hi Paul,

Like a bad programmer, those are currently hardcoded in there. Look for a future version with more options in a few weeks. I just wanted to get this one out the door quickly.

You could change the fonts through CSS, but the background color is currently coded. You can edit the plugin and find them if you're familiar with PHP and HTML.

Thanks!
Doug
