FTP Information for Filezilla

If you're a web designer I'm pretty sure you already know this trick. It's called FTP!

My very first geocities website yearssss ago was free and I had to upload everything 1 at a time... CLICK CLICK CLICK... water break... click click click click... 2 hours later your site is live... Ugg!

Now days they have awesome programs like cyberduck and filezilla! Basically you just drag, drop, DONE! You just sit back and watch it upload.  The only tricky thing is figuring out your FTP settings.

1. Enter your FTP host in the "Address" field, like this: ftp.YourDomainHere.com (replace YourDomainHere.com with your own domain name). 
2. In the "User" field, enter your FTP user ID. Your user ID is a combination of your Yahoo! ID and your domain, such as name@YourDomainHere.com (replace name with your Yahoo! ID, and YourDomainHere.com with your own domain name). 
3. Enter your Yahoo! password in the "Password" field.

Birthday Invitation Designed by Heather Kant

A couple of weeks ago I started on a project for my good friend Amanda.  Her daughter is turning 2 and they needed a birthday invitation made for her party. I was excited to get the opportunity to do another card for her daugher. I've done invites for her in the past and it's always fun because she's so cute and I'm able to get really girly with the artwork.

I'm really pleased on how cute these invitations came out! They have been approved and they are in the mail! Yee-Haw!


Tips for creating artwork to print at Walmart. I assume they don't advertise the "how to" on their website because I think they want you to buy their greeting cards. The last time we went to print we did the longer greeting card size (7"x4"), and had a lot of problems.  I'm not sure if it's the store having problems or just the Walmart equipment that doesn't want to accept that size.  We had slightly less of problems this time around doing the 4"x6" prints.

Here is what I came up with for the closest & easiest of prints at Walmart. I Googled and couldn't find anyone posting the exact dimensions (If it needed a full bleed or not, cmyk? It just wasn't posted). If you have any further information on this please let me know - Thanks!
