Coming soon - New Balloon Instructions

I have started working on the instructions for two balloon hats, one intermediate
and one advanced, they are both Dragon hats. As I develop the instructions
I will give you a sneak peak at the design. I will be working on this
in the next couple of weeks.

Now Accepting Tips
- - - -
I was thinking, which normally scares my wife, about how so many people
request a tip. It was nation news when a coffee chain employee placed
a cup on the counter with the words "TIP". The amazing thing
was they received tips. I realize we tip for services that we like or
when we appreciate someone's hard work, we give them a tip. In some cases
we do it automatically. Go to your favorite restaurant and you will tip
the waitress every time. We tip the Vela a couple of bucks just for getting
the car, or the bartender at a wedding just for handing us a drink. That
is when I came up with this idea, Now Accepting Tips, yes that is correct;
if you would like to tip me for all my hard work, long hours of programming,
creative designs, now you can. I have setup in the mbd2.com store a section
call Tips. You can go to the store and choose what size tip you would
like to give. You can tip as often as you like, or in combinations $5
and $10 tip or choose one of the selected tips. I think the information
and entertainment I have provided has been more enjoyable then some restaurant
meals, waits for Vela, or even the uneventful wedding bartender. So, in
advance thanks for the tip! ;-)

Forum - Updates

Keyboard Shortcuts -- Now when you are describing how to make a balloon
design, simply type -b and the word bubble will appear. You will find
the keyboard shortcuts in a scrolling window in the user box, right hand
side of the screen or in the help, located in the message frame, bottom
right corner.
I have slowly been working on improving the help feature, so as new items
are added to the chat room, help documentation will increase.
Keyboard Shortcut for twist names
-a apple twist
-A Art twist
-b bubble
-f fold twist
-h hook twist
-m marriage twist
-p pinch twist
-PT pop twist
-rt raisin twist
-r roll through
-s split bubble
-t tulip twist
Font Type and Size - I have added the ability to change font size and
type, by a simple dropdown selection in the message frame. Simply select
the font, size, color and type the setting will stay for each message.
Default font size is 12 pt.
Automatic Login - The chat room is for registered members and when you're
login to the mbd2.com forum you will automatically have access to the
chat room. Now when you click on chat, it will automatically enter your
name into the chat login box. Just click login and you ready to chat.
Rules & Etiquette - As the forum grows and more and more people are
using the chat room, I felt we need to have some basic Rules & Etiquette
procedures. These are found at the top of the chat room when you are login
to the chat.
Lastly, on the main forum page is an active frame that will show who's
in the chat room and what room they are chatting in. Too many people were
logging in and missing each other.

Entertainers Tip 27 -
- - - -
I'm lucky that I have a successful website and balloon forum where I have
a chance to discuss/email many new and veteran entertainers. I am always
amazed on what people are doing with there entertainment business, how
they are running it, tax write-offs, marketing, how they perceive the
industry. I keep learning form everyone. That's me, I like to learn.
I'm just amazed on how many people know it all. We all have met this
person; they have done it all and been successful at doing everything.
I always ask myself this question… if you're so successful why are
you here, with me? Why are you not on TV or movies, or so rich that I
would have to go thru bodyguards to get to you? But then I realize it's
there ego talking -- I ignore most of what they say. But I love talking
with people who are just starting out. These people can energize even
the most experienced person. They look at the business with new eyes the
see opportunity everywhere. They keep us on our toes. I know this just
form watching other people's website grows; I keep improving to stay ahead.
This should be true when it comes to entertainment business. I'm improving,
I now have my Thank You card, mass produced instead of printing them one-by-one.
Need to improve business relationships, I have work on new PR material,
and still none of this and all of this has to do with entertainment. Keep
in mind; unless you are paying a PR company to promote you, you have to
do it. Unless you have hired a secretary, you need to keep your appointments
current. Unless you have a maid, assistant, mechanic, an accountant, a
graphics designer, you will have to be all these people.
This is where entertainment becomes business! I have heard many entertainers
say that's too much work. And you know what? They are here today and gone
tomorrow. Twenty years from now, if there still here, you will see them
doing the same events over and over again. What happen to the person improving
there business skills? Look for them at the big venues. Entertainment
is 90% business, 10% entertainment. You have to work many hours just to
get that 1 hour job. Learn to love the business as much as the entertainment
and your business will grow too!

Boy, have things changed. When I first started sending out update notices,
it was just a couple of line saying "hey, new pictures at...",
but this site has grown bigger, and bigger, and with cooler stuff. As
a result, the two-line email has now gone to the ezine format. I have
now started archive these messages and will have a link off the update
