Holiday Cards


I wanted to clarify the details regarding this year's Holiday Cards. The cards will be full CMYK, so use whatever colors you prefer. We only design the fronts of the card. The image area will be 4.25" x 5.5" or a quarter of a standard letter sheet. It can be either landscape or portrait orientation. You can design in any Adobe program. Designs must be related to the holidays or winter, but you cannot specify a certain holiday or religion.
Students must bring a print-out of their designs to the November 4th meeting. We will vote on our top 4 favorite designs at that meeting. We will then create selling sheets and start selling cards. I plan to have the first orders complete by the start of Thanksgiving Break. We may sell cards through this blog, too, like last year.

Problems with Following

I had some of our members ask about the Following feature on blogspot. It seems that the Follower gadget does not work for our site, among hundreds of others. I've tried moving it around and viewing it from other locations, but to no avail. You can still Follow the blog to keep up to date with postings. Here's how: (you must have a blogger account for this to work, if you have a gmail account, you should automatically have a blogger account)
1. Log in to your blogger account.
2. Scroll down to the Reading Section at the bottom.
3. Under the list of blogs you're Following, click ADD.
4. Enter the url of our blog: http://ucmaiga.blogspot.com
5. This should allow updates on the blog to post to your blogger dashboard.
If you have any issues with this, or any other solutions you can think of, feel free to comment.
