Site issues followup

Ok! We're back online. No worries now.

Yipes! Site problems!

Ok, I know not many people will see this, but just incase:

I had some issues with my hosting company today with my credit card and it's resulted in them taking down DV Graphic temporarily. This includes DV-graphics.com, IconizeMe.com, DVGdesign.com and a few others.

My biggest concern are my Iconize Me! customers right now- If they have a problem and try to visit the site, they're going to be greeted by a big, scary, german-language error....Which, if I were in their shoes, I would think "Well, these people just took my money and disappeared"....But I didn't! I'm still here!

So if you know anyone who is a current customer, please try and direct them to this blog. I will keep updating it as I resolve this issue.

Likewise, because my server is down, I'm not able to use my DVG email addeys (iconize@, paul@, etc)...so if anyone needs to contact me, I can be reached here:
paulsahner@earthlink.net

Now if only this company had 24-7 billing and tech support. Dern. Ok, Hopefully this will all be cleared up tomorrow.

Backorder

I've had a lot of work lately, but in between shifts and on my days off I'm managing to get quite a few icons out each day.

I still have a lot to go, but I'm getting through it.

Iconize Me!

Sent out 10 orders in the past 2 days....Enjoy everyone.

Icons

I really wanted to keep Iconize Me! open longer, but the backorder is getting scary, so I put a stop to it.

For the next few days (whenever I can) I'll be sending out icon orders.

I need to reconsider the price of Iconize Me!, demand is just too high for $15. No complaining....This is fair warning....Kinda.

Blog

Well, I just wrote a whole long blog, but something happened and I lost it. So lets just wait and see if I get the energy to write it again.

The jist:
-Iconize Me! is open and making life busy
-I'm considering a small price hike for IM.
-I reccomended The Vanity Project as my music pick of the week:

Saturday

I got a few more icons done last night. For the rest of the weekend I'll be at an official "Box Social" off in New Jersey....Thus, I'll be out of contact until Sunday afternoon.

Oops

Well, I was going to see the new Batman movie this afternoon before work...But that fell through. So now I'm here at hom until 5....Which means icon work! Woooo. Hopefully I'll be able to get 3-4 out before I need to leave.

Icons

Just completed four more icons. Enjoy everyone.

Good day.

Not a bad day today. Went to work, and had a rather sucessfull day there. When I got home I had a movie from Netflix waiting for me- which is always nice....It feels like a gift, though, because I often forget I'm paying for it. Tonight I'll try and get some icons done while I watch the movie. No work tomorrow, or this weekend...that'll leave a lot of time to do icons. I do have dentist tomorrow, but it's at the crack of dawn, so I'll be able to go right back to sleep once I come home.

Speaking of icons, I'm really happy with this new system. I've been able to really manage my work load so much nicer this summer. No one has even waited 2 weeks for their icons (Which is the estimated wait time). I have about 20 icons waiting to be done- which is a lot. But I'm confident I'll do it....I have a lot of free days ahead of me to get it out of the way.

Speaking of the days ahead of me- Visiting Shalimar this weekend....Some part of the day will probably involve getting her computer up-to-date with Tiger n' such. But then it's a BBQ with school friends, so that'll be good.

I'm antsy to do some designing lately, but with working at the store and doing Iconize Me!, I have very little time to fit it in. I'd like to redesign the iconize site, but functionally it's doing a great job right now (I'm just sick of how it looks). Maybe later on in the summer. I tried some basic designing the other day and was really disappointed. I'm rusty. Granted, I only gave myself an hour or so...But still- when I'm in school I can usually put together some pretty nice stuff. I need to keep practicing. I should also start sketching again.

If you're reading this, then you've noticed the new "DVG Blog" button on the site, and likewise, the "deviantART" button across from it. If you have a chance, go visit dA...That's where I get a chance to upload a lot of my non-DVG work. Most of my sophomore portfolio is up there along with a lot of other random stuff.

Wow, this ended up being a long post....I feel like I'm on a talk show. Let's go to a commercial...

Iconize

I'm working on icon orders right now! Everyone celebrate.

Another Test....

I'm just testing out a dashboard widget to post to the blog.

Vectorize Me! will reopen, but we're not sure when.

Hi There

Hi - this is only a test -

Welcome

Welcome to the new DV Graphics Blog. What is this for? I'm not sure. But a lot of design sites are starting to keep blogs, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Now, this is not a replacement for the main page...Though this may be updated more frequently.

So lets see what happens....Eh?

The DVG Blog

This is just a test
