I've Been Planning New Classes!

This morning I've been working on my Fall Classes at our local Central Community College...it just doesn't seem possible--I'm still in the middle of summer!
 
Looks like I'll be busy in September & October, and a bit into November! 

I'll be offering a new class in September:  Thrift Store Shopping (we will take an actual shopping trip the second night!).

My basic computer series, Fearless Computing starts September 14 and continues every Friday for 6 weeks.  It's an afternoon class--seems like many people enjoy coming out during the day.

Two other new classes will debut in October:  When Junior Returns Home (October 1 7-9pm) and How to Organize your House in One Easy Book (October 15/22 7-9pm).

I'll offer my 2-night  blogging class again in late October & early November.  I'm calling it Blogging Your Days, it will be on October 29 and November 5 at 7-9pm.

My eBay Beginner Class this time will be a Saturday afternoon in a Seminar style--date to be announced.

Free Shipping Options for your eBay sales

eBay's new Fast 'N Free lets buyers know at a glance--in search results and on the Item page--when an item ships for free and, based on their shipping address and the item location, that it will arrive on their doorstep within 4 business days.

The eBay Fast 'N Free logo appears on listings when all the following conditions are met: •Both the buyer and the item are within the 48 contiguous states.

•The listing includes a free shipping service and offers 1-day handling.
•Based on the buyer and seller’s geographic location, seller’s past delivery performance and the carrier’s performance, eBay can estimate with a high level of confidence that--using the free shipping service--the item will be delivered in 4 business days or less.

eBay says their statistics show that listings enhanced with the eBay Fast 'N Free logo sell better than those that don’t.

I found this on Facebook...just had to share!

Newest Pinterest Feature

Pinterest has released a much-requested feature: the ability to choose the pin that appears on the cover of your boards.

The update gives you greater control over the appearance of your profile page:
You can now edit a board cover by hovering over it with your mouse. An “Edit Board Cover” button will appear (see below, left); click on it and you’ll be able to rotate through all of your pins to select a cover image.

It’s also possible to adjust the position of the thumbnail for a better fit, although you can’t crop or resize it. Click “Set Cover” to finish. And you can choose board covers within each board by mousing
