1. Smugmug issues with searches are resolved. All of the searches on my Smugmug galleries are back to normal.
As mentioned above, here’s the video "Tips on Navigating the Smugmug Galleries". If you ever felt overwhelmed looking through my galleries, please watch this…
2. The Urushi Mina’s are complete, and there are 4 left!
Here is the video that I mentioned showing how the reticulated pattern is created on the Urushi Minas. Fascinating!
1. Smugmug searches are only working from the Home Page or Galleries Page. Due to an indexing problem, we are not able to search within individual galleries right now.
The solution for now….when trying to search within a specific gallery, search from the Home or Galleries page only, but place the name of the Gallery in the search window along with the term that you are searching for.
For example, if you want to find Pearlettes in Ebonite that are currently ready to ship, you will type "Current Pearlette Ebonite" in the search window of the Home Page or Gallery Page. This will show you Pearlettes in Ebonite that are in Current Inventory.
If you want to find Blue Glenmonts, type in "Blue Glenmont" from the Main Page or Galleries Page.
You can’t do this from the respective individual galleries for now, so work from the Home or Gallery Page.
This issue will hopefully be fixed soon.
2. New Stealth LE will hopefully be announced next week.
3. New Production Pen in the next 2-3 weeks barring something unforeseen.
I’m back from my vacation. Like I said previously…..since starting The Edison Pen Company, I really have never taken a vacation with family where we actually travel, and I actually get away from emails!
This was my son’s first time flying! He was so excited, and had a great time all around!
We took a trip to Scottsdale, AZ, and definitely had a nice time. Some of you know that I enjoy photography. I’ll attach a photo from Sedona that I’m pretty proud of.
If you would like to see more, I’ve uploaded a lot of photos from the trip to my photography blog. I haven’t processed every shot from this trip yet, so there will probably be a few more entries from this trip in the next few days if you want to stay tuned.
So I feel fully refreshed! I really needed some time away.
But back to Edison business…..I’ll be getting through my emails tomorrow, Monday. So if you are expecting a response from me, you’ll hear from me then.
Some previews of what is to come soon….
1. We have a new model for the Production Line that should materialize in the next 2-3 weeks, I hope. I’m very excited about this new pen.
2. We have a great looking Signature Line "Stealth" pen coming together very nicely that will be a Limited Edition. There will be a few features on this pen that I’ve never used before, so stay tuned. I’m waiting on a few special parts to come together, and then we’ll be all set.
We will be leaving tomorrow for a much needed vacation.
Since starting the Edison Pen Company, I honestly have never taken a vacation where I actually travel with my family, and actually get away from work! Most of my vacations have been close to home, and I still never really get away from emails or the computer.
So this time I’m doing it right! I will not be doing Edison related emails until I return on Monday the 18th.
So please bear with me, as Edison communication will be non-existent during a much needed vacation.
Those of you who have seen some of my appearances on the FPGeeks Radio Show will already know that I’m a huge fan of Dan and Eric, and everything that they do for the fountain pen community.
You can read a previous blog post here singing the praises for all things FPGeek! Bottom line, if you haven’t checked them out, be sure to. They have one of the most informational and entertaining sites devoted to fountain pens, no doubt.
So when they asked me to donate an Edison Pen for a giveaway, how could I resist!
