SVG files are scalable vector graphics and the ideal file format for images that may need to have various size incarnations. See this easy-to-understand Lifewire.com detailed explanation of this essential image type. It's the best one that I've found.

NEWS: Zibbet Launches New Selling Hub Early 2019
Diana at Three Cats Graphics gave me the heads up that Zibbet
is changing to a new marketing model. Sellers will be able to manage
various shops from other venues right from a Zibbet selling hub.
The interesting thing that Jonathan said is that a seller will be able to sign on to this "New Zibbet" and not even sell in a Zibbet shop "if he/she does not see value in it," but use the hub to manage shops at other selected venues. The blog post is here:

I was at Zibbet in 2013, made some sales and was featured in a shop
profile interview for the blog. I did not buy the lifetime membership
and left when changes came and free shops were all but eliminated.
Jonathan told me that I could always return at any time. I've thought
about it over the years. One thing I would really miss today is the
forums that he had at
Ning.com. Good luck to Zibbet, always!

OPINION: Civil Rights Is For Everyone
![]() |
Civil rights is for everyone. |
Make this world a better place, while we can. This is a statement that I make often when sharing caring images and videos at Facebook. These are shares that show people reaching out to each other in various ways, without reservation or discrimination. It is in this spirit that I acknowledge that today is a holiday to celebrate not only a man, but what he believed, that we all are entitled to human rights.
Today, I remind us all that civil rights is for everyone who is a person, no matter what the race, sex, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic heritage, national origin, etc.
I love this artwork from KWSnet
Something similar would be nice made from a wood block print or collage.

RESOURCES: Inspiration From The Etsy Newsletter
I love the Etsy newsletter that is sent to my email each week. It is easy to review and has a clean, neat and non-cluttered design. I look forward to scanning it each week. I don't have much free time, but I make time to quickly overview this journal.
I don't always follow the links, but doing so is how I was able to get free promotion and packing supplies from American Express. This was for the Shop Small, Small Biz Saturday, Backed By Amex event during the holidays. I was also able to watch the Making It mini TV series competition (which was not crafty/handmade enough for me) by seeing the announcement in this lively online periodical.
I've been weeding out and pruning my email alerts, but the Etsy news blog is not going anywhere, except into my mind as I continue to squeeze out time to read it. It's exciting, it's fresh, it's fun! The overall design lends itself to thrilling anticipation!
Check out the Etsy News Blog!
I wanted to add an Etsy logo to this post, and was happy to find a Brand Assets download on the Press page. If you want it to use at your blog, see the download link at the bottom of this page. I'm going to unzip mine now to see what goodies await!

NEWS: Webshots 20 Yrs Old & Selling Subscriptions
Webshots is 20 years old today and
sent me an offer, which arrived in my junk folder, to buy a yearly
subscription to the website for $19.99. The link sent me to a payment landing page
with no branding on it whatsoever. I would think they would direct
potential buyers to an info page at the website, where I could read
about Webshots today.
I will not purchase, but it would have been more conducive to me buying had they done that. I haven't used Webshots since about 2006 and they changed owners, I think, after that. I also shy away from unbranded payment pages, though a branded page can easily be falsified. Must be always vigilant! We are advised to not make payments at page links that arrived into our email boxes, but to go directly to the websites instead. That's what I would do, contact the website and ask for the promotion. I would explain that I was leery of the junk mail and unbranded landing page.
