Apparently now whenever someone uses Open ID to post a comment, there is an LJ ID assigned to them. It is actually possible to add the person using Open ID to your f-list so if you have friends who use other means for blogging and have the Open ID option, I think they can still subscribe to f-locked posts without having to get an LJ account! I'm not sure if that's actually the case or not, but I still think it's cool I can add Open ID users to my f-list.

If you look at my f-list on my profile, you'll see sweetdaisy.blogspot.com (she was my best friend in grade school... was heartbroken when she moved away). Her LJ ID came up as ext_87965 when I received a comment notification in the mail, so you can see how I was able to add her to my f-list.

Seriously, how cool is that?

Now, Rob... when you leave a comment here, use your Blogger ID! :)

Okay, here we go again with the poll...

First, a little explanation as to why I'm changing the options.

lindalee_ mentioned that using 00 in whatever name I select might lead to confusion, and she's very right. Ever since I've been using this name, there's always been a bit of confusion. I don't want to carry that over to a possible website or something for people to search since they might not realize they're zeros.

I believe pensivesea mentioned that Tiny Treasures is a little overused and she's very right. I was actually doing a search on it as she was typing her comment and I found a mess of sites all related to baby items or daycare and don't really want to have to compete with that (or run into legal issues with it, for that matter).

Now, that out of the way, I suppose we'll be starting over here. I'm so anxious to get these ordered! I think my biggest problem right now is coming up with a cute logo. Any artist out there care to offer up any cute and adorable designs? :)

Poll #1155642
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Which name would you suggest for tags for sewn items that might possibly be sold at some point?

If you selected Other, please list your suggestion here.

Also, don't forget the Friending Frenzy! If your name is listed in the main entry, make sure you've added a comment about yourself. If your name is not listed in the main entry but you're interested in joining in the fun, let me know because there will be another round.

I need to do a post about a few Bzz campaigns I'm doing. I'll be giving away some coupons for free products if anyone is interested. I haven't decided if I want to do a trivia quiz or just a first comment first serve type of thing. I need to do it soon, though!

I have videos and pictures to post if I ever get around to it. We're either having issues with our router or our ISP and any pictures we host here cannot be seen by anyone else. It's becoming highly annoying.

winter_in_asia has posted an entry about no content in his journal for those of you upset by recent LJ changes. I know at least one or two people on my f-list are upset by this, so please take the time to check out his entry and join in if you wish. It might be a slow day for the Salmon....

Does anyone have ideas for other items I might be able to sew quickly and sell? Thanks to msbluerasp, I've added zippered pouches and pincushions to my list of things to try. I'm guessing I could probably do placemats and napkins as well. I've also considered making simple purses of some sort. I'm really thinking about setting up an Etsy account and selling the bibs and all the stitch markers I've made so far, and was trying to come up with anything else I might want to add to the mix there.

We'll be fish sitting this week for Thomas the Beta, our neighbor's fish. Exciting, no? I think it will be interesting for Sophie to see another fish other than the ones we have at least.

Okay, I think that's it for now.

boyzici has posted the results for last week's quiz. Thank you to ALL of you who helped out. You guys managed to score a total of five points for me!! Yay!!
