Well, I just added a new website on March 10, 2010, http://www.serenethos.com/ to refer to all my sites.
It's very basic right now. Mostly just to list all my print on demand, stock image and stock photography sites, and blog. Later I will add more copyright information for the stock image sites.
I hosted the site through hostgator and created the web site through host gator's site builder. Simple to use to start out with. I will find out how to do more complicated things with it later but at least it's out there. I have not submitted it to google or msn or other search engines yet. Will do later if not picked up in visitors once more built and shared.

Joined Dreamstime Stock Agency
Night before last, March 4, 2010, I joined Dreamstime stock agency, my second stock image site I joined to sell licenses of photos and illustrations of mine.
I have not uploaded any images to my profile at http://www.dreamstime.com/Serenethos_info yet because they said I can upload up to 50 images my first time uploading and I want to make sure I get only the best of my images organized for my first upload.
I also noticed that they now require images be a minimum of 4.0MP for new submitters. Some of my files need to be redone to meet the larger requirements.
I have been reworking the files for about a week now besides other things and am getting better at working out the file structure of managing my images.
I am reworking the IPTC data of the images I will be sending to Dreamstime and putting together a file of the first 50 images I will upload to Dreamstime created from Original files. I'm making sure the files are as perfect as possible before I start uploading.
UPDATE March 11, 2010
I have been reworking my file management system with the help of the DAM book. I am republishing with new IPTC data showing my new website, expanding relevant keywords, making sure artwork is up to par, and making sure Proofs for stock only come from Originals. And, knowing how to locate them again in my system which I'm liking more and more.
Of the 50 for submission to Dreamstime and have gotten together 25 files now from my art collection, mostly scans of illustrations, mostly I colored or enhanced on computer with Photoshop elements 8. I have a lot of artwork and ideas I can contribute to stock photo and stock image sites.
It will be interesting to see how my images do at Dreamstime. Dreamstime seems like a very lively community. It seems like a good and friendly community of like minded people to share with. I look forward to meeting new art and photography friends at Dreamstime.

Once I get the new camera I will contribute more photos to stock.
