On hiatus
October 4th, 2008
On Sunday, October 5th, this site moved to new hosting with more services and features, and faster-loading pages.
Unfortunately, this also meant restoring the illustrations with each article, one by one. In most cases, the work is worth it. Zippidee-do-dah, most of my sites are loading quicker than ever. Yaayyy!
But… I looked at the work involved in restoring the old version of SantaFlamingo.com, and how few people have actually bought any of my current digital products (fewer than ten in the past six months), and decided that it’s not worth it.
It’s time for me to reinvent SantaFlamingo.com. I’m thinking of taking this is an extreme, highly specialized direction. I need to go way out on a limb, so it takes months for my site to look too much like the others who rush to copy me.
Being “part of the crowd” has never worked well for me. It’s also not smart business. There will always be lookalikes who can deliver more products for less than I can. And, there will always be customers who are willing to sacrifice a little quality for the lower prices offered elsewhere.
The world is changing, rapidly. This hosting move is a good excuse for me to rethink what I’m doing with my art and art products, and revamp SantaFlamingo into the future.
For a little while, this site will be on hiatus.
