Old vouchers still won't work, unfortunately, but, whether you've been affected by this issue or not, you can still get a new free print voucher here. The new vouchers are valid until 31st December 2006.

To use the RSS feed you'll need an RSS reader. Internet Explorer 7 (in beta at the time of writing) includes one, albeit very basic, but you can otherwise download a free RSS reader from sources such as Google*, NewsGator, BlogSpace and more. For more information on RSS, I found this BBC article on the subject very handy.

What am I talking about? MOvember. The annual event to raise awareness of (and money for) prostate cancer research. The official word: "At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible. Movember culminates at the end of the month at the gala parties. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and David Boon look-a-likes battle it out on the catwalk for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title." This year, Royalexpress will be donating 1c for every print processed during Movember to the cause, in sponsorship for the Royalexpress Mo Bros, and we'll be posting 'Mo o' the day' pictures in store and online. You'll also be able to make donations at the Royalexpress store at the MLC Centre, in Sydney's CBD, and Mo Bros will receive discounted prints if they include their own mo's. For more information, see the official Australian Movember website. http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=202&headline=It%27s+that+time+of+year+again%2E%2E%2EGO+THE+MO%21 http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=202&headline=It%27s+that+time+of+year+again%2E%2E%2EGO+THE+MO%21 Paul@camera-warehouse.com.au Fri, 13 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT The variety of print media has grown massively in recent times, with mugs, jigsaws, mousemats, t-shirts, etc, all offered as canvases [and those!] to plaster your photographs to. We will be adding all such options to our online printing service very soon (they are available offline already, by the way), but it got me thinking 'what will customers want to print on next?' If you have any as-yet-unavailable requests for print surfaces, I'd like to hear about them. Please add your comments below to share with the masses, or email me at paul@royalexpress.com.au. http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=194&headline=Where+would+you+like+your+photo+printed+next%3F http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=194&headline=Where+would+you+like+your+photo+printed+next%3F Paul@camera-warehouse.com.au Thu, 5 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT Our special offer for October is 6x8" enlargements for only $1.99 - that's less than half price, and there's no minimum order! http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=190&headline=6x8%22+Englargements+only+%241%2E99+for+October http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=190&headline=6x8%22+Englargements+only+%241%2E99+for+October Paul@camera-warehouse.com.au Mon, 2 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT Once again, we are very pleased to announce the launch of the new print@Royalexpress online photo printing service from Royal Express and Camera-Warehouse.com.au.

Some print services get around this by printing tiny 5.33x4" prints, but we thought you'd prefer to see your pictures in their full glory. 6x4.5" prints (matte or gloss) now available from print@Royalexpress for just 39c. http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=184&headline=New+full%2Dframe+digital+prints+available http://www.royalexpress.com.au/news-detail.asp?article=184&headline=New+full%2Dframe+digital+prints+available Paul@camera-warehouse.com.au Mon, 2 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT For the next 8 weeks Canon are running their 'FIND YOUR SHOT' photo competition with some fantastic prizes including $25,000 in cash, a Canon EOS 400D digital SLR camera and heaps more great prizes.
