I’ve spent the last several months working on this to make sure that you get the same great quality and speedy service you’ve become accustomed to. But don’t take my word for it… let our resident cutie pie, Mrs. FD, tell you all about them:

Announcing the Photobooth toy!

John — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:26:38 +0000

Create vintage photo booth strips from your digital photos. Four poses! Your photos are automatically aged for an authentic vintage look. For the best results, use really bad photos. You know, ones where your hair is doing something it shouldn’t and the flash is going off right in your face and one eye is halfway closed and your mouth is open. Like that.

Facebook + BigHugeLabs

John — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:13:51 +0000

In case you missed it, you can now sign in to BigHugeLabs using your Facebook account. It’s simple and it works whether you already have a BigHugeLabs account or not.

Why would you want to do that? Well, it’s one less password to remember, for one. You’ll also be able to use your Facebook photos to make stuff here without having to re-upload them. And you can upload stuff you make here back to your Facebook account. (BigHugeLabs will never post anything to your profile or wall without asking you first.) Did I mention it’s completely free?

To register, first go to the sign on page. You can get there by clicking the Register link at the top right of any page:

Then click the “Connect with Facebook” button:

A Facebook window will appear and ask you if it’s okay to connect your Facebook account to BigHugeLabs. Facebook will ask you to sign in if you are not already. Your password is not shared with BigHugeLabs! This confirmation is private and totally between you and Facebook.

After you’ve approved the connection, you have two choices. If you’ve never registered here before, simply enter your email address and agree to the terms of service to complete your registration. If you already have a BigHugeLabs account, enter your BigHugeLabs email and password to link your Facebook account to it:

That’s it! From now on, when you want to sign in to BigHugeLabs, just click the “Connect with Facebook” button and you will be automatically whisked away to poster-making goodness in one easy click.

Lower prices + huge discounts on some posters

John — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:13:26 +0000

We’ve lowered all of our prices effective immediately! No coupon or discount codes required. For example, our old price for two (2) 16×20 prints was $54. The new price is $47.66 (shipping included). That’s an 11% decrease. And you still get discounts for ordering multiple posters and coupons.

Plus! We’re running a huge sale on our small format posters: 8 and 10 inch posters are $3.95, 12 and 14 inch posters are $5.95 (plus shipping). Once you see the print quality of these posters, I know you’ll want to come back and buy one of our larger ones. This offer is only valid for a limited time.
