My email address is &lt;a href="mailto:blogsforbabies@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;blogsforbabies@yahoo.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Set up a Photobucket account. This is a free service that will be providing the links for your kits and elements. Go to &lt;a href="http://www.photobucket.com/"&gt;http://www.photobucket.com/&lt;/a&gt; and follow the online instructions to set up your account. Email me you user name and password after setting up the account. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Please keep this account active and do not delete the account as this will affect the appearance of your blog.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*After emailing me, I will send you a invoice for you deposit.  This deposit is non-refundable but, will be credited to your total at the end. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Now go looking for your digital kit! Look to my sidebar for some Great On-line Stores. Also, check istockphoto.com. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*please note* Some designers will only allow their kits for personal use only, or, they may charge an extra $5-$25 commercial fee.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;   I will email you &amp;amp; let you know how much the designer will charge, just so we are on the same page. :)&lt;br /&gt;When you find the kit you like, send me the following: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name of Kit&lt;br /&gt;Name of Designer&lt;br /&gt;What company&lt;br /&gt;Price&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If I have the designer's permission I will place you on my waiting list, and will contact you when I begin your blog. Before going "live" with your blog, I will create your template in a "Test Blog"which I will email to you, to look at and make any changes to. You will not need to pay until I am finished. I will send you an invoice by email for the total amount (kit included).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Last-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you approve (by email) that you love your new look, you can pay me by clicking on my side bar under Pay now or follow the links from the invoice I send you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**please note** I will need your blogger user name and password to apply the changes to your new blog look.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;FAQ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;How long does it take for you to finish my blog?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I usually take 2 to 3 days to complete a blog. This is all depending on my waiting list. After you receive my email that I am starting your blog, the ticker is on!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Do I have to order a Digi kit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Ordering a kit is not mandatory, however it has a nice look to it. Please keep in mind, that there are many designers that &lt;em&gt;DO NOT&lt;/em&gt; allow their kits to be used for "commercial use" and/or for blog/website design. I have a few designers that I have worked with that have given me permission. Some of those designers are listed on my side bar of the home page. If you have a kit that you would like to use.. &amp;amp; it's not listed. .. I will be happy to contact the designer for you and request permission. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are other options:&lt;br /&gt;1) istockphoto.com has MANY awesome pictures that can be used in any arrangement you would prefer. The price range for these photos are from $1 to $15.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Why can't I get a copy of my kit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Due to the designer's copyrite laws, they do NOT allow any file sharing. Since I will be purchasing it, the rights to use it applies only to me. If I emailed it to you, that would be considered file sharing, &amp;amp; there would be copyrite fines possibly for you and me both.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9170263331836402565-2563098719303695423?l=blogsforbabieshowtostart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogsforbabieshowtostart.blogspot.com/feeds/2563098719303695423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9170263331836402565&amp;postID=2563098719303695423' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9170263331836402565/posts/default/2563098719303695423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9170263331836402565/posts/default/2563098719303695423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogsforbabieshowtostart.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-contact-me-by-email-letting-me.html' title=''/><author><name>Blogs For Babies</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
