Hey CLASS OF 2008!!! Remember there’s no better way to embellish your graduation invitations than with some custom graduation postage from Zazzle! Get postage with your images and text or with designs from the community. It’s a great way to show off on your graduation invites and to show that you actually used your computer for something other than a coaster.

Also, shop the graduation center for everything you will need for that big new job or your first day on campus at a new school (have you seen our cool profile cards?!).

Pangea Day is a historic event bringing the world together through a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers that will be broadcast in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, New York, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, and the internet on May 10th at 11am PST. The broadcast will last 4 hours and feature 24 short films, which have been selected from a competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over 100 countries. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes.

Pangea Day has launched the Official Pangea Day Gallery on Zazzle where you can get all your Pangea Day branded and customizable merchandise including Pangea tote bags, Pangea posters, Pangea hats, Pangea buttons, and Pangea U.S. Postage.

Those inspired by Pangea Day will have the opportunity to participate in community-building activities around the world. To learn more about the entire program and to see the live broadcast on May 10th, visit the Pangea Day site.

We’ve added Star Wars Mugs and Mousepads to Star Wars Shop on Zazzle! Now you can get a Yoda mousepad, Darth Vader mug, and more to show your Star Wars pride at the office or home. My favorite? Has to be the Princess Leia mug, that’s what I call hot coffee….

Don’t forget, we’ve also got just about every Star Wars image you can think of in the Zazzle Star Wars Shop. So you can find your perfect Star Wars t-shirt, or Star Wars Poster and get it shipped to you before you can say “Jabba the Hutt.”

This weekend is the 134^th Kentucky Derby, a stakes horse race that marks the start of this year’s Triple Crown. The race is steeped in tradition (I would say anything that continues for over 100 years is) and is considered to be the most thrilling two minutes in sports. See some of the great historical prints we’ve got from Derbies in the past at our Library of Congress Kentucky Derby Prints Collection.

We’ve also got other horse enthusiast products beyond Kentucky Derby Prints, like horse t-shirts, horse mousepads, horse mugs and more. Check out all the horse products on Zazzle.

The Zazzle team has been hard at work improving Zazzle.com to make your selling experience more effective and enjoyable! Check out below for some of the great updates we’ve just launched!

• Larger product views

  We’ve increased the size of gallery product views by 15%! Your customers will love the new larger product views that really show off the quality of your products.

• Smaller right-hand navigation

  There’s a new right-hand navigation menu that is a bit smaller to support the enhanced product views and make better use of the gallery space.

  Tool Tip: When creating categories in your gallery, keep your titles around 20 characters to prevent text breaks.

• Management tools now in MyZazzle

  Conveniently access all of your gallery management and promotional tools in MyZazzle! You can now edit your account, orders, earnings, gallery and more all from one place. Check out the exciting gallery features now available in MyZazzle.

  • Basic Information: Update your gallery title, description, gallery tags, and gallery access (see Private galleries below)
  • Appearance: Choose a template gallery layout or create a personal look with custom color and imagery. Also, you can now change the height of your gallery header image from the standard 200px height to the new slimmer 100px height.
  • Content: Showcase which pages and what content your customers see in your gallery.

  Tool Tip: If you have two browser windows open, one on MyZazzle and one on your gallery you can make changes in MyZazzle and then refresh the gallery window to see your gallery changes take effect in real time!

• Private galleries

  The new private gallery option makes your gallery invisible to the general public. When this feature is selected, only you will be able to see your Zazzle gallery. So, you’ll be free to create products, customize your look and feel, and build up buzz around the launch date of your Zazzle gallery without anyone seeing your gallery before you want them to. Uncheck this feature at any time to “open” your Zazzle gallery to the world.

Head over to your Zazzle gallery to start using your new and improved gallery!
