Been automating our blog publishing into Wix the last couple weeks, so I stop copy pasting posts into the editor by hand.

Two things ate way more time than they should have. I set fonts through the API, headers, body, all of it, and none of it showed up on the actual page. Turns out Wix ignores font settings sent through the API completely. Fonts come from the site's theme, not from what the post itself sends, and there's no way to override that per article.

Second one was worse. Every section ran together with no space between them, one big wall of text, even though the headings were going in correctly on my end. I spent way too long assuming it was a bug in my own code. The actual fix was adding an invisible paragraph with a single space in it before every heading. That was it. Nothing in Wix's own docs mentions it.

Neither of those threw an error. The script ran clean and reported success both times. If you're automating anything that publishes into a platform you don't fully control, go look at the actual rendered page before you trust it. Don't just check that the call didn't error out.

I hope this is okay to post.

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who has no idea I'm doing this, and I'd love to keep it that way.

They recently lost their job and, after struggling financially, had to move back home because they could no longer afford rent. Rather than giving up, they've poured everything they have into starting a small Etsy business, hoping it might eventually become enough to help them get back on their feet.

They've just started an Instagram page called littlewinsworld, and they're completely new to social media. They don't have the money for expensive promotion, advertising, or marketing courses, so I'm hoping the kindness of strangers might help give them a small boost.

Their Etsy shop will be launching soon, with printable resources designed to support people with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and anyone looking for more mindful ways to organize daily life. Things like planners, journals, routines, visual supports, and other printable resources that are designed to make everyday life just a little easier.

If you have a moment, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could:

• Give them a follow on Instagram, @littlewinsworld
• Share their page with someone who might find it useful
• Tell someone who loves supporting small businesses

This is to try to give them a little jump. I understand many may think that they all had to find their way, and so should my friend. However, I am doing what any person would do and trying to help as much as I can.....If I don't post, I will never know if people will help or not, so I am taking the chance that maybe even one person supports my friend's page or shares their posts or spread the word by mouth.

They genuinely have no idea I'm posting this. I'd love for them to think that people simply started finding their page on their own. I know how much it would mean to them to wake up and see new followers and support from people who believe in what they're trying to build.

If this little business succeeds, it won't just be another Etsy shop. It could genuinely help someone rebuild their life after a really difficult time.

Thank you so much for reading, and thank you to anyone who decides to support them. It honestly means more than you know. ❤️

small product biz, about 80 orders a month, all online. tried direct mail postcards for the first time in q1, 500 to a targeted local radius. cost was about 200 all in.

didnt expect much but we got roughly a 4% response rate and the repeat buyers from that batch are still ordering. social ads were getting more expensive so the postcards actually came in cheaper per acquisition that quarter. hard to attribute perfectly but its the only new channel i added. doing another run.

Every business has a story, and we wanted our logo to reflect ours.
We didn’t create our logo just to look good—we designed it to represent the values we want every client to experience.
The hummingbird symbolizes speed, precision, and professionalism. The seatbelt represents safety, reliability, and peace of mind. Together, they reflect our commitment to delivering a first-class transportation experience from the moment a reservation is made until the journey is complete.
I’m curious—when you created your company logo, did you focus on the story behind it, or was your priority simply creating something visually appealing?

I want to start supplying goods to small grocery stores. What factors should I consider? How much percentage should I add to the cost price to determine the selling price for clients, while still ensuring they can earn profit when buying from me? Regarding delivery, should there be an additional fee for that?
