We have just had a small technical overhaul at RedBubble with the installation of some new systems. These systems have zero downtime and are immune from viruses or any known technical glitch. They also run entirely on biomass (human) energy. The only wonder is that they had not been thought of before.

Ed is the first person to have his system fully installed. This is a picture of him using …

Hello! Another week another RedBubble release.

This week there’s a couple of new things – the ability to bulk delete BubbleMail and a sneak preview of a the RedBubble ‘private site’. The private site is designed to allow you to create a site showcasing just your work.

The Logo

As you’ll remember from this we set Xavier the challenge of redesigning the logo on pain of biscuit deprivation. However the sneaky man went vegan at about the same time just to thwart us. But he still came through with the goods, which now adorn the top of every page for a day or two.
