I've finally gotten around to making blogger appear "seamless" in my index page. I feel like I've not only accomplished my goal, but it is exactly the way I wanted it in the first place. And to think that I almost settled for using iframes... wow. This calls for celebration!

The blackbackstudio livejournal has been converted to a community to make posting to it easier for me. Now I don't have to juggle two accounts on LiveJournal (personal: emberisolte & business: blackbackstudio).

Updates to livejournal will most likely be a copies of posts in this blog. The main reason I have this blogger account is because of how pretty it looks with the website and how much more user friendly it is for me to update the homepage without editing the html.

I redid her teeth yet again. But for the final time since I am quite pleased with the way they are now! I'll post comparison pictures once I upload them.

I called VistaPrint this morning about a refund and they credited me my order (less shipping, which was totally fine by me.) The lady said they would credit my account, but I was like, "Is it possible to just refund the money directly to the card I used because I'd like to close my VistaPrint account as well." Her reaction actually surprised me since it was a simple, "Oh, all right," and she didn't try to sell me on keeping the account. So, she immediately closed my account (only 1 minute or less on hold, I was impressed). I'm still a little paranoid about the "discount clubs" scamming I read about thanks to "hubbers" comments in my previous blog entry, so I'll be checking my bank statement closely for a few months.

Oh yeah, to clarify, when I said that the paper wasn't even white, I meant that the paper was just a very, very, very low quality white, so it actually looked like it had a yellow or stained tint to it. VistaPrint says they use 80lb stock for their business cards but I doubt it. I have swatches and samples of 80lb stock from Georgia Pacific and the crap that VistaPrint printed on barely even feels like 45lb stock... anyway. I'm glad I got my refund.

I had my custom designed business cards printed with VistaPrint.com. They arrived today... I am very dissatisfied. The design is cropped WAY off center by 2 whole millimeters. (And on a surface area of only 3 in. x 2 in. that makes a huge difference.) The paper isn't even white!! I couldn't believe it. And the "foil" accent isn't even finished the way they state and SHOW how it's done on their website.

So, VistaPrint is definitely on my X-list. Oh well, lesson learned. I'll be calling them tomorrow to see about their "Satisfaction Guarantee" and refund.

Nuku shot and put together a quick little video of me showing off the way Krystal's jaw moves to post up on youtube. The music is Krazoa Palace Base Theme from Starfox Adventures. You can find the mp3 and others from the Starfox games at http://krystalarchive.com.
