04.23.08It’s Been a Good Birthday
General Nonsense (4)Taking my birthday off today I went to the doc to get my heart checked out. Turns out its probably all stress related and I can stop taking the pills that make me feel "not so great". Left the doctors office, drove 45 minutes across the countryside to my neighbor's work. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and not a single pokey ass old person in their mint condition 1993 Buick LeSabre ruined my ride by going 35 in a 55mph zone with their left blinker on. I opened the sunroof and rolled down the windows on the TL, ...

04.17.08IE Style Warning / Notice Bar
Building A Service, General Nonsense (0)I was looking for a unobtrusive way to notify users of new Secure Delivery features that I have posted to the official SD blog. I've seen a few sites with an IE-style warning or notice bar across the top of their pages that would work, and after some searching I figured out how to do it with just a few lines of CSS and one line of HTML on your target page. The warning bar has mouse rollover effects and can be linked to any page of your choice. You can see a simple example here: Warning Bar ...

04.16.08PagePeel Peel Away Ad Script- $5.00
General Nonsense, Marketing (5)I've always thought those pagepeel or "peel away" ads like the ones shown on John Chow were pretty slick, so I set off to find the best deal on them. I find them less obtrusive than fly-in, floater, or popup/under ads, and they have a definite cool factor about them that makes people want to peel the ad just to see whats underneath Well, the $127 and $37 price tags were a bit silly for an ad script so I started looking around. I was able to find the same features as the one John Chow is hocking here ...

04.16.08Working on a new design… tell me what you think.
General Nonsense (9)Ignoring the text and the odd button I haven't updated yet, what do you guys think of the new design for DigitalProductDelivery.com? (click image for full size view) Of course there will be a nice big Secure Delivery sales type graphic in the big open white spot, probably promoting our free single product plan. Secure Delivery will still be the name of a service offered, and we are going to name the affiliate system too. What we're going for is DPD being the "solution website" with Secure Delivery and the not-yet-named affiliate system being services offered there. Plans will stay pretty ...

04.10.08Digital Downloads are Not Just eBooks
General Nonsense (0)This is just a quick note to tell the world that digital downloads (i.e. downloadable products) are not just limited to PDF ebooks or marketing crap. Our most successful Secure Delivery user sells a range of products that are not ebooks and have nothing to do with marketing at all. He is so successful in fact that he sells more than nearly all the marketing ebook sellers combined. We're talking about one user that has used nearly 20% of our total bandwidth this month delivering his product to paying customers. Chew on that one for a while. I'm going to ask him for ...

04.03.08eBay Policy Change means Secure Delivery Supports eBay Now
General Nonsense (2)Effective March 31st eBay has banned the sale of digital downloads using auction or fixed price formats. New digital download listings must use the Classified Ads format, which means.... Standard PayPal (or PayDotCom, or ClickBank, or 2CheckOut) Secure Delivery buttons will work for eBay auction listings without us having to change anything. You just paste your generated buy now button in the ebay classified ad body text area and you are good to go. Normally when a processor or method changes something its a headache for us as we have to modify our service to meet their new requirements- this is the ...
