This is going to set us back a couple of weeks (at least). But,
it looks like I may actually be able to get things launched in
June. That's okay, though. It'll give us time to work any bugs
out through the summer - before the busy season starts in the
fall.
Here's a cool little resource. You can make your own favicons
in a flash - right here on this page:

Thanks to Heather Colman! While you're over there, be sure to
subscribe to “The Graphics Tip Sheet!”
I also saw a couple of things in another of my favorite ezines -
“Merle's Mission.” Since I've been so busy, I let Merle find me
content. ;-)
Here's what she had that I liked:
“PhotoShop Online”
Now thanks to Photoshop you can manipulate your photos online.
Change the hue, crop, colors, whatever you want. You must have a
computer with Windows XP or Vista, or Mac OS.

Thanks, Merle! Be sure to stop by Merle's web site and
subscribe to "Merle's Mission" to get these things directly:

I mailed my EXISTING customer this week. We send no other email
to anyone else. We only contact them 3-4 times a year with
existing customers only specials.
Almost EVERY yahoo account blocked our mailing with the reason
"due to customer complaint."
It seems to me this has also become a new way to order
merchandise without giving legitimate contact information in an
online business transaction.
Needless to say, no more yahoo email accounts will be accepted
by us. I much rather lose a sale than having to deal with
unethical customers, risking fraud to boot.
This spam thing is being taken too far, in my humble opinion.
Yet the spam in my inboxes keeps on multiplying like rabbits
while ethical businesses lose.
What's wrong with this picture?
I would like to know how many other online merchants (namely our
members) this happens to and what they decided to do about it?
Thanks for listening : )
Have a great weekend,

If anyone else has had a problem with Yahoo delivering your
email, please let me know.
If you have set up a forwarding system from your web site email
address to your private ISP email address, you may be losing
important business email. I've seen this three times now in the
past month ...
An iCop member uses an address such as me@mywebsite.com. Then
they have that address forwarded to me@comcast.com - or
adelphia.com - or rr.com (rr stands for roadrunner).
What's happening is that the ISPs are bouncing that email back
to the original sender.
Comcast is doing it because (in this case) the web site is
hosted by a company that Comcast has blacklisted for spam. It
has nothing to do with the SENDER - just the middleman, the web
site address.
It actually has nothing to do with the web site, either. It
DOES have to do with someone on the same server as this
particular web site email address sending spam!
I haven't been able to figure out why Adelphia and Roadrunner do
it. Their bounce email doesn't bother to tell us why the email
bounced. But, since TWO of these were being forwarded from the
same web site address, I suspect it's also a blacklist
situation.
This does NOT mean the person using the web site forward is the
spammer. In all three of these cases, I know that isn't the
case.
It means someone else, using the same IP number - or an IP
number in the same RANGE - on the same server as the forwarded
web site email - IS sending spam.
Not only that - when they bounce the email, they show your
private ISP email address on the bounce message. Oh goody! Now
your private address is flying around the web!
No one is responsible, of course. The ISPs are allowed to do
anything they want with your account - including bounce anyone's
email for any reason they please.
What can you do? Not much. You can never be sure someone else
on your server isn't sending spam and having it reflect back on
you JUST because you use the same company for your connections.
Having your own IP number won't work in this case, because the
ISP will (quite INappropriately) bounce a whole RANGE of IP
numbers.
Your only absolutely safe bet is NOT to forward your web site
email addresses to your ISP email address!
I'd really appreciate it if you would help me build our
subscriber list. Please don't forget to invite your friends to

Some people in Kentucky have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in eastern Kentucky got together and translated the "King James" into "Pike County" language. No joke, read on: The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (Posted on the wall at the City Hall in Pikeville, KY.)
