Some Business to Take Care of…

So, it’s time for the Monthly Update.
First thing at hand is to say thanks to all my readers. No, really, thank you!
If it weren’t for you guys, I’d just be shouting into a series of tubes.

Second:
Some new stuff. Coming soon, Anyone will be able to register and have their own blog here. Some technical issues have to be resolved first (because I can never leave well enough alone!)

I also added a couple of new features in the last month:

Photos By Tattooed Dad
This is for non family photography. Concerts, “artsy” photos and the like.

Graphic Arts
Photo manipulations, Collages, and the rare scans of real world art.

Video and writing coming soon.

Third:
Store stuff.
You can get Tattooed Dad T-shirts and the like at CafePress. They are currently having a buy 3, get one free sale.

Remember, if you want a customized shirt made, just let me know.

The Apple Store has discontinued their Affiliate program for hardware, which sucks, but I understand why. One Word: iPhone. That said, the iTunes program is still active, and if you purchase songs, albums, TV shows or movies by clicking here, I get a small commission, which costs you nothing.

The same goes for Amazon. I have begun setting up a “store”, which will have recommended movies books, and music from me. In the meantime, you can click here and anything you buy will again give me a small commission that doesn’t cost you anything.

Last but not least, I want to remind you that your participation is welcome, and any thoughts you have on Tattooed Dad – good, bad or indifferent are helpful. If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me hear them!

More on things

You may have noticed a new button at the top of each post.(Temporarily removed until I can figure out why it breaks Safari.) This button, when clicked, turns each post into an audio file so that you may listen to it. It is a computer reading it ( sounds like MacOSX to me, specifically Bruce). But it’s neat. You can subscribe to it by clicking HERE, which should open iTunes for you, or which ever RSS reader you may be using.

Anyway, Smoking and not smoking. Not as good as I might like…but a butt load better than I’ve done before. It helped that I stayed home with the 3 most wonderful ladies in the world all weekend. Nice days, great nights. A happy Father’s day, indeed.

New Stuff!

So I’ve hacking away at the site. There are new navigation menus, a new Amazon Store (with recommendations from me – still working on it, though) and, finally, The Tattooed Dad Poetry page is live! Coming soonish will be my photography page and Visual arts page (yes, I consider them to be different.)

There are also open disscussion forums. If you have a Tattooeddad.com login, then you are all set. If not, I beleive you will need to register to post.
Feel free to post away there. Anything goes. Except the rule about kids, Pee, Poop, or critters. Can’t be having that stuff going on!

I hope to put away the tools, and start writing more about life very soon. I only have a limited amount of time to “work” on Tattooeddad.com, so I have to divvy up which aspect I spend time on. Lately it’s been (re)learning CSS so I can get things working and looking the way I want them to. That, and my thoughts have been leaning way too dark lately, and it’s hard for me to write in that space.

The previously mentioned opportunity to get something free is still in the works, just not ready yet.

Thanks for staying around. I can see that many are still reading, and I appreciate that.
I would like to hear more of your voices, though.
