In April 1744 when Swedenborg was fifty six years old he experienced a vision of Jesus, which was to change the whole course of his life. In his journal he wrote:-”In the night a strong shuddering came over me from head to foot, with a thundering noise as if many winds beat together, and shook me….I found that something holy was upon me….From that day I gave up the study of all worldly science, and laboured in spiritual things….The Lord opened my eyes…so that in the middle of the day I could see into the other world, and in a state of perfect wakefulness converse with angels and spirits.”(Docs.I,p.35-36) This painting has been inspired by Swedenborg and the illuminations come from him, I am just a conduit for his work. / 21st January 2009

A composition made up of several drawings placed over the top of each other in photoshop. This is a painting that I have developed in Photoshop using my abstract drawings originally based on a stool covered in paper. The original drawings are in pastels and charcoal. I am currently in the middle of completing the painting using acrylic on board.

HowTO: Google Analytics on RedBubble

Google Analytics (GA) works by doing two things. Passing information from a cookie to GA and by downloading a small image file from GA. Because GA uses Javascript you can’t simply add the code to your RedBubble site. However, you can link to an image file on another server, and that opens the door to using a file on another server to pass information through to GA via the image download function. I found this post that explains how to do this. The post also provides php code. I’ve created this brief walk-through for RedBubblers Here is what you need to use this method: A server where you can add a php file, a directory, and image files at will. The ability to redirect on that server A new GA urchin number. (You don’t want to corrupt the statistics of another site) Here’s the idea. Joe Visitor loads up your redbubble page. On that page there is a link to an image file: ! http://www.yoursite.com/tracker/main.gif ! The tracker directory doesn’t exist, instead there is a command to redirect that image file to a php file called track.php. Track.php passes along the file that’s being loaded to GA and gives Joe the new image url, which is http://www.yoursite.com/imagedir/main.gif Okay, here’s the technical stuff: / In .htaccess you need to add the following line: RewriteRule ^tracker/(.*).gif$ /track.php?url=$1&filetype=gif This is what causes Joe’s browser to load track.php instead of /tracker/main.gif Now you need to edit your php file. Copy the php code from this blog post. There are three lines you MUST update for this to work: Line 2: $var_utmac=’UA-0000000-0’; (Enter your urchin code) Line 3: $var_utmhn=’www.redbubble.com/people/yourname’; (This need to be the same address you used when you signed up for GA) Line 32: $imageurl = fopen (‘http://www.yoursite.com/imagedir/’.$_G…... (Change the address to where the images are actually located) After you’ve edited it, rename it to track.php and upload it to the root directory of your Web server. Testing! / Add a gif file to http://www.yoursite.com/imagedir/ called test.gif (remember, the redirect is setup to work with gif files). Then go to http://www.yoursite.com/tracker/test.gif you should be redirected to http://www.yoursite.com/track.php?url=test&filetype=gif and you should see the test.gif image shown. If the image is shown everything is working! If you get php errors then there is something wrong with your php file. If you get a 404 error your redirect isn’t working. Test two: Add ! http://www.yoursite.com/tracker/test.gif ! to your RedBubble profile page. Reload your profile page to see if test.gif appears. If you pass both these tests then you know your redirect and php file are working. Now, you’ll want to add a transparent 1×1 gif to your directory so that you can load an image that isn’t intrusive to your profile. You can download one here (right click and save as). Add a link to that clear image to every page you want tracked. You should notice redirections from redbubble.com immediately in your redirect log file. However, GA information won’t show up for at least a few hours. (The date defaults to yesterday in GA, so to check that you are getting results set the date to today.) It’s important to note that using this method will only tell you which image files on yoursite.com are looked at. Every single visit will come from the server where yoursite.com is hosted. You won’t get any referral information, visitor location information, etc. If you use the same image file for every page you’ll simply get a list of how many times that file has been viewed. If you create a different image file for each page you want tracked you can see how many times each page is viewed. You will also see what days and times of day the files are viewed. I’m looking into ways of getting more information passed from Joe to GA to make this more useful. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know!

Shameless Self-Promotion
by BlackEelRecently I’ve been putting extra effort into promoting my T-Shirts and Prints on RedBubble. To be honest, I haven’t seen any major result…
Recently I’ve been putting extra effort into promoting my T-Shirts and Prints on RedBubble. To be honest, I haven’t seen any major results yet, but its early days still so fingers crossed. But there are a number of things I have noticed about certain popular works on the site and a few things I know from my other career that I am hoping will help out. So I thought I would share here the different things I have done. With the view of a follow up post in a month or two about what works and what does not. First up, I made my own website This is nothing special, mine is in fact just a WordPress blog, but I host it myself (my host is HostMonster in case you are interested). If you don’t want to, or don’t have the skillset to host your own site, you can get a free blog on WordPress.com, obviously though this is slightly more restricted than one you control yourself. Why a blog? Simple really, it is a pre-made CMS (content management system) based website, once it is setup and running you have everything you need right there, plus there are lots of different blogs to try out, most are media rich (so posting RedBubble work is easy) and the majority are also free. Another good aspect of blogs is that there are number of websites dedicated to searching and aggregating blog content, so some of the promotion is done for you, and as a related point, blogs have integrated RSS or Atom feeds and usually a tagging system, another thing you won’t have to create yourself but will come in very handy. Finally on the website front, if you don’t want a blog, you can always use your BubbleSite. Not as flexible but at least it is a web presence. Even if you don’t use your BubbleSite as your main promotional tool, it is still a good idea to keep all its content up to date. Once you have your website running next you need to get it connected. This basically means linking to it in every possible way and place as possible. Create links on your profile page, each artwork page and any other place you can think of. Add links to your site in email signatures, forum posts and on your instant messenger client status. The final step in this process is to measure your performance, self promotion is no good unless you can see if it is working. Now my way here is to Google everything to the max, but there are other ways if you don’t like Google. I am using Google Analytics to track my website traffic, Google Webmaster Tools to submit and track content in search engines, Google Adsense to monetise my site and Feedburner to enhance my sites RSS feed. So I will monitor these services and see if my traffic improves and in what ways I can optimise my site and profile. By the way, if anyone is trying to setup a site and having problems, or wants to ask a question, bubblemail me, I might be able to help In the meantime, since this is shameless self-promotion, here are all my artworks so far: BlackEel Designs / Beast / Death Angel / Deadly Design mk.II / Deadly Design / Bacchus / Northaw #4 /
