Moo is awesome!
Posted on 20 Mar 2012 by Chris Ford

After a week of anticipation, our spiffy new business cards are here! Yaaaaay!

Back in February I saw Jacob Cass of Just Creative showing off his awesome new Luxe business cards from Moo.com. I started lusting after my own right then and there.

So after our recent re-brand, and knowing I didn’t want to pass out our *very* pink, *very* old business cards at WordCamp San Diego, I finally ordered some pretty, pretty new cards of my own! While I was at it, I grabbed one of their too cute sticker books with wee little logo stickers to give out! So far I have stickered my computer, phone, message board, and a package I sent out yesterday! I need to slow my roll so I have some left!

Making Things Easier for our Customers
Posted on 09 Mar 2012 by Chris Ford

We’ve taken installing Bluebird Skies down to a few simple steps—and you won’t have to touch a single line of code!

We want to ensure our Makeover Kits are as easy as possible for you to use. So, even though we only launched it a week ago, when we discovered a plug-in by Nick the Geek (a Genesis coder we respect and admire) that would make the installation process ridiculously easy, we re-created everything and re-released the files.

We’ve also created a brand new video showing you every step of the process. It runs about two minutes (and most of that is watching the image files upload). We think you’ll jump for joy when you realize you don’t have to edit functions.php, styles.css, import new Google fonts, or otherwise touch a single line of code.

Simplify
Posted on 07 Mar 2012 by Chris Ford

I wasn’t totally happy with how many files you needed to edit when I launched our Bluebird Skies Makeover Kit. It seemed like there should be an easier way to do what we needed to do.

Luckily, I ran across a plug-in from Nick Croft that allows us to significantly simplify the process—and you won’t have to touch a single line of code.

We’re currently hard at work updating the Bluebird Skies files and recording a new video showing you the three short steps you’ll need to take to get the Makeover Kit installed and activated. If you’ve already purchased Bluebird Skies, you can download a new copy of your Makeover Kit using the link in your receipt starting at 9am PST 1PM tomorrow (I want to have time to test the new stylesheet–it’s getting late and I’m starting to make mistakes). If you’ve misplaced it (I understand, I’m sooo notorious for that) shoot us an email and we’ll send you another copy.
