Entrepreneurs don't sleep

It's a dirty little secret, or perhaps, not such a secret. Here it is, 4:18 in the morning, and I am about ready to call it quits. Yesterday, after a very full day with the girls, I got to work in the evening on some website enhancements.

As with all new things, there was a learning curve. One brilliant email from a friend got me on track with creating animated gifs in Photoshop and a brilliant hour or two spent with my husband, who works at Enflyer, got me on track with my mailing list signup sheet. And now, if you go to my website, you'll see a pretty little rotating gif that allows you sign up to my mailing list. In fact, there are going to be multiple lists going forward. Dear sweet hubbie is gonna help me get that properly configured soon. I hope.

Meanwhile, there is a display issue that irritates me so I've got a message up on a help forum about that. It's always something. And now, should I go to sleep, finally, or is it about time for breakfast? I'm starved!

A little fun

Yesterday, I got an email offer from Adobe to upgrade from Photoshop Elements to Photoshop CS2 for $299 and I clicked on that link so fast! I have never been able to correctly create animated gifs in Photoshop Elements; the animation was always fixed at .01 seconds. I called and spent hours and hours on the phone with Adobe and got them to reproduce the issue but it just never got resolved. It was mostly because I so desperately wanted animated gifs that I forked out the money for Photoshop Elements in the first place. Sure, it did to other useful stuff, but this was a huge issue.

It took me about 2 hours to track it down but I did finally figure out how to do animated gifs in CS2! So here is my first properly slowed down animated gif, actually viewable by the naked human eye!
