Since I know (or have a feeling) that we are all aware of this infoproduct idea, consider this a “reminder.” I like to remind myself periodically of possibilities as, over time, I inevitably get distracted by many other things, and a reminder can’t possibly hurt.

Bookmark for when you need it… check out this huge free collection of public domain photographs (government sources) on a wide variety of subjects. Looks like there are a couple of thousand images here, mostly black and white, many of which are high resolution (print suitable), all more than adequate for online use.

OK, that makes four, or about a month of these Carnival issues, and traffic numbers (interest) seem high enough, even for these usually sickly low Saturdays. So, let’s keep going then, shall we?
