2009-07-01T09:01:00.000-07:00

my brain has been working a mile a minute since mid-April trying to think of ways to expand Once Upon A Blog into much more than blog design.

So, in the next couple months, I will be adding many items to the services I provide. If you have any products that you would like to see Once Upon A Blog create, just comment below!

THANKS!

If you need a business card, Once Upon A Blog can help you out!
Here is an example of a business card for a client!

When you go to upload a photo, have you ever seen these numbers and wondered what they meant?

For a while, when I go to upload my photos onto my blog, I have been getting a warning that says that I am "currently using 81% of my 1024 mb".

I panicked, and thought I was going to have to start a whole new blog because, after all, if I don't have any more memory, how would I upload photos of my girls?

That was what I thought, until I saw that "?" next to the warning. A couple days ago I clicked on it to see where it would take me!

Well, it took me here:
How can I get more storage for my images?

which then took me here...

Upgrading Storage: How it works

From that last site, you are able to purchase additional storage, which means you can blog until...well, forever, and not worry about your storage!!!

So, for $20, I got 10 GB (compared to the 1GB that you get free from blogger).

10GB - $20/yr
40GB - $75/yr
150GB - $250/yr
400GB - $500/yr

So, now when I go to upload a photo, here is what I see.....

"You are currently using 7% of my 11264 mb"

Guess I'll be blogging until...well, forever now....

Let me know if this was helpful! :)

* Have you neglected to back up your blog and want to archive your entries?

If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, CARRIE can help!

After this, it will take you back to the "page element" page. Your new picture tab will show up on your sidebar. You can move it up, or down to a new place. Just click on the new "picture" tab that you have, and drag to where you'd like it to go!
