managing email addresses – the good ol’ fashioned way
Sometimes I have questions which really take me back to the basics.
Today I had a question from someone who is excellent at what they do, but not terribly literate when it comes to computers. And that’s ok, they don’t have to be, that’s why they have me to help them out 
Anyway, they simply wanted to manage a small (under 25 names) sub-group of their address book for sending once a month emails and not interested in a lot of fuss Continue reading

Paypal for most of us
There are ways to spend money monthly with a Paypal account, but most of you don’t need to. Most of my clients will be just fine using “Website Payments Standard” and NOT the $30/month PRO version.
With Standard you can
- Send Invoices
- Receive payments
- Have a shopping cart
- Etc.
So instead of $30/month PLUS the transaction fee you have a FREE account with ONLY the transaction fee of 1.9% – 2.9% + $0.30 USD (as of November 2009). Check out the different accounts here for yourself: paypal.com–profile-comparison
Crestone Creations is happy to act as your representative and get your PayPal account going, or you can set it up on your own and we’ll just go in once it’s set up to create the code needed for your web site buttons & other professional customizations (like your logo on the checkout page, etc.). (you can change your password once we’re done).
Save yourself $$ - do these steps on your own: Continue reading
