Bah creative block. Google'd some ideas but still nothing. I'll be switching to Moo and getting free cards with 10 different sides, so anyone who wants some free cards try: http://us.moo.com/uploader/?type=businesscard&pack=10&promotional=1&ppid=113

I've heard good things about Moo.
Not sure about the creative block though.

Do you have any particular branding or logo you advertise yourself with?

I'm going to re-design my logo too. Then website. New year's re-design. But today is business card with old logo, then replace logo. Or I may start with logo. Ugh.

If you need any help with the website, give me a shout, I'm fairly handy on the web stuff, and can help you set up tracking campaigns and such.

/e

Before I forget, Studiopress are offering their WordPress framework and themes for 25% off today (discount code "BLACK"), and they've got a couple themes that are perfectly suited to photography portfolios.

http://www.studiopress.com/themes/landscape
http://www.studiopress.com/themes/manhattan

Well worth a look, even if they appear quite expensive.

Actually, I'm just buying the Manhattan theme for myself, and they're pretty open about themes being used on other sites when people haven't paid for them (except you won't get any customer support), so if you want the framework and the Manhattan theme, send a shout my way.

I don't like to rip off businesses, but that manhattan theme looks really good. I loaned all my extra cash to sister :(
Btw if I request help from you, are you ok with paypal payments?

I love it! It's exactly what I'm looking for. NN to read up on site making and dreamweaver :D

Darn landscape looks really good too.

Not really ripping anyone off, here's what the studiopress FAQ has to say on the matter:

Can I use the themes for work that I do for clients?

Yes, you may - we realize that Developers are busy and need ways to turn work over quickly. One of the primary reasons we developed our themes was to provide a solution for content management using WordPress.
Support will only be given to the user who purchases the theme or Pro Plus All-Themes package, which means the buyer will be responsible for supporting the themes for their client.
If your client wants direct support for the theme(s), they will need to purchase the appropriate Theme/Support package(s) and yes, you can have them purchase through your affiliate link.


In that regard, they're much more awesome than a lot of other theme providers.

I'm fine with Paypal. Pretty busy this year, as it's my final year of college, plus I've got college, and a girlfriend I need to spend time with, but I can spend a few hours here and there helping you out with it all.

/e

Yeah, Landscape could be a better one for you, you can always just buy the theme on it's own without the framework and I'll send that bit your way, that way you get the added bonus of getting theme support for that particular theme.

Seriously, using a framework like WordPress will make your life 83475638946389487364783876347863784638 times easier than custom coding pages.

Thanks, good to know, and thank you for the reference. You saved me 2-5 weeks worth of work :D

Just playing around with the Manhattan theme on one of my sites, you can set the homepage slider to be any size you want, so that's pretty cool as well.

Moo.com

Haven't used anything else. The quality is exceptional. ( I use a matte finish) Looks amazing, very VERY clean & professional.
They feel amazing, perfect texture (You can get recycled material ones if you want to save the planet too - I'm using them right now for my NYC set, I prefer the regular ones over)
Amazing price, and the shipping time is the most impressive I've seen.
