FotoMoto and My Love/Hate of Beta Testing

You may have noticed... I hope you noticed, maybe, or maybe I hope you didn't notice because it's fixed now, but the FotoMoto links for Buy Download Share on photos is not working this morning. I hope you noticed because you use them religiously... I hope you didn't notice because I'm g*ddamned sick of that not working!

Don't get me wrong, I am kind of in love with FotoMoto and its slick operation. I just put a tiny bit of code into my blog posts and—like magic—the links show up under my photos. Like magic, you can click on a link to share it on Facebook or buy a print or download. Like magic, I get an email and you get your print. Like magic. And just like h*cking magic, I can't figure out (and neither can they) why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And because this is a free service they offer, I feel just a little bit like a jerk for complaining that my free service doesn't work about 5%-10% of the time.

If you've needed to order something and couldn't, please contact me via email and I will find a way to make something happen. And if you didn't but just noticed the links were not there (or you wondered what I was babbling about, all this Buy Share eCard crap that's nowhere on the posts), feel free to drop me a line so I can report problems. If you do that, you know the drill—browser, OS, date/time. Thanks for being patient with my janky beta-test support services.
