For all you soapers

From the us_box newsfeed:

"SOSCCON Conference is putting unique items from U.S. Box in all the
attendees welcome packages. U.S. Box is committed to supporting the soap and candle industry
with unique packaging for both the small and large business."

I know a lot of the folks I've been meeting on some soap LJ's and message forums will be attending SOSSCON - too bad I won't be able to attend. (No time, no money, and I think some friends are planning on kidnapping me for my birthday this weekend.)

More RSS Goodness

Now you can add us_box's RSS feed to your friends lists!

Coming soon - pictures (maybe)

Another of the ideas being floated for the US Box website is to plonk a picture of yours truly right next to the blurb for free art and design. (Put a face on the art department... I guess it could work.) Of course, Chris (who's our photographer in addition to being the Web and IT guy) will have to find time to take a shot of me. All the pictures *I* have are several years old and not really professional looking.

Spreading the joys of technology

I guess I need to add "technology evanglist" to my job description as well - I've managed to get the web guy (My friend Chris) and the boss into the idea of adding an RSS feed for the US Box website. Check it out at http://www.usbox.com/blog.xml.

Right now there are only a few entries, but I'm thinking that we could use it to send out new product info and press release type information to our customers. We already do several email based newsletters and targeted ads to existing customers, but what can it hurt to stay ahead of the tech curve?

And on the subject of look and feel

I really *like* the new LJ layout look. I seem to be in a distinct minority.

The joys of S2

2003-09-09T16:13:57Z

Well, I've finally got the layout and colors behaving. If I had the time, I'd make everything here look all snazzy - but right now I'm just happy to have it clean and readable.

A question for my readers. Not that I have too many of those yet...

2003-09-04T19:45:29Z

So, I find myself as the brand spanking new art department of a company I've been employed by for all of a week. I'm a quick study, but there's a lot of stuff here. So, ask me questions (fake ones are fine) about what I can do here.

Flashing back to getting quizzed on my homework as a kid....
