Irreverent Thinking

PayPal is widely maligned but for me it has got one huge thing in it’s favour - I know it, it’s in my Pod!

I spend my time preaching about the value of consistency and familiarity but seldom do I get such a violent reminder as I did a few weeks ago. Having bought a few things on eBay I was going through the process of bulk paying for them when  I was stopped dead by one item that required me to go through a “channel partner”. This was a nightmare; I wanted to go click, click, click to pay for my stuff in my familiar way and now I had to look, search, read, learn.

Yuk!

Keep it simple = keep it familiar (unless you can improve on it - lower sellers fees is not an improvement, ever)

I used to do it a lot, quite often they were there “just to brighten the page up” but mostly they were pointless. I’ve recently started using mobile broadband and get frustrated when people stick huge images on web site so maybe I just carried that thinking across and am being more considerate.

Or it could be because I am still learning WordPress and the Typepad platform I used before was easier (for me) to insert images
