2012-01-11T17:10:00.002-05:00

I thought it would be helpful to post an update to my last post. Last month I signed up to be a Pro seller on Artfire, and even though I thought that it was a really cool market place and I even still shop there, I downgraded my membership from Pro seller down to just buyer. The problem was that the site, although possessing very helpful staff and community members, was all fine and dandy but the

A couple days ago, I decided I wanted to make my web presence a little more known in terms of selling. So I made the choice of signing up for Artifire.com. It's a cool marketplace/web store host with some pretty amazing stuff to offer. I found out about this site a few months back, but back then they didn't allow you to sell anything but handmade products you make yourself. I wanted to sell both

I've Been Dreaming of a Bedroom Redesign

2011-11-30T17:44:00.002-05:00

Help! I'm in a redesign rut. For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to shake things up a little and the decor in my room(specifically my bedspread) is something that I've been meaning to update for a while now.

Hicktown Site or Alternative to eBay? Part1: Listia

2011-11-22T09:45:00.003-05:00

My definition of a cyber 'hicktown' site, is a site that I know about but don't think very many other people know about because 1) it took me so long to hear about it & 2) I found them by accident, not by word of mouth, so to me it seems like it must not be that popular. Like a quite a few well known sites that everyone thought would be around till the next century, eBay's day has come and
