In All It's Glory

Last night, I wanted to go down to Borders to see if our book was on the shelf yet.  After finding the computer section, I was expecting it to be on a “cart” or a “display rack” as we were told that Borders was doing a “big push” or something, but it was stuck mysteriously in with some web design books, which was surprising.  I’m not really sure what it’s doing over there, since there’s nothing in there about how to design anything, other than tips on successful blog design. If you have trouble finding it in with your blog books, be sure to check the web design section.

But, on the upswing, I was happy to discover that knowing they only had 3 books in stock, one was missing from the shelf. There were only two books there with a hole where one used to be, so I can only assume someone bought one.  Hooray!  Thank you, Person Who Bought Our Book!

Update:  On a promo at Borders starting today! Woo! Thank you, Borders!

I happened to be in Nashville yesterday and went to the Barnes and Noble at Opry Mills Mall.  Hoping to get my hands on a copy (I hate waiting for online orders) - but alas, none in stock.  I was bummed, hoping to find it since Nashville is a hecka lot bigger than the city I live in.

I did see that when they do have it in stock, it will be in the “Web Designing” section as well.

@Liv: Thanks for letting us know! We’ll pass that on to our publisher.  grin I wasn’t sure if they were carrying them in-store at Barnes & Noble, but I’m happy to hear that they plan on having them in stock. That’s great!

Okay I went by Borders at lunch and they sadly did not have a display, but of the three books they were supposed to have on the shelf, they only had one left...and now they have none!

@soapbox: no display? That’s strange. They were supposed to be on a cart near the computer section starting Tuesday, the 16th. BUT, I’m happy to hear they have none!  hehe!  Did you buy it?  lol.

I did buy it~ The last one.

It was located in the Web Design Section.  I told the lady that helped me find it that I was pretty sure that Borders was supposed to have it on display.  She said she would check on it, and be sure to order more, since I took the last one.

@Jenny: it’s not in-store at Barnes & Noble, but you can pick it up online. You can get it cheaper through Amazon, though, to be honest. Unless, of course, you work there or something and get some big-ass discount. hehe!

Flickr Photo Weirdness

I’ve received a flood of emails this morning from clients concerned that their site is “broken” or “busted” or “hacked”.  None of the above, I’m happy to say, but there is definitely something afoot.

It seems Flickr updated the script they’ve written to display images on … MORE...
