FYI, Image Issues, last weekend of March

Not really a message for the blogging community (nothing personal, guys, just don't have the time), but for any of my store browsers who happen to click on my ID in hopes of getting an explanation for why my listings don't look like they usually do... My image hosts are physically moving this weekend, starting early this Saturday morning, March 29, 2008. My usual background images are not showing, nor are the thumbnails of the books for sale or the full size images that those thumbnails link to... The good news is that images I upload to eBay for each store listing are identical to the ones currently not showing. The bad new is that aesthetically, my listings just don't look very good right now and for this, you have my sincere apologies. The move is supposed to be done by the end of this weekend, though my experiences with nearly all business involved with the Internet suggests that their ETA for completion will end up being optimistic (and that problems will persist for some time afterword) ... What can I say? I'm a cynic. (which reminds me of the old joke... Do you know what the opposite of an optimist is? ... a realist ;-)

I have managed to cobble together some work-arounds for the various .99 auctions I'll be running over the weeked (mostly starting on Sunday) so those should look OK. Once again, my apologies and thanks for your patience. Have a great week (and don't be fooled on Tuesday).
