Joe Daley recently finished a project called BlingEasy.com that allows you to add “bling” to your photos. Joe went way over budget and five months past the projected launch date so it’s nice to see he finally got it done.
Here is a photo of me that Joe blinged out. The site is very easy to use. All photo are transformed into a .gif file and can be sent as a greeting card. The Flash editor makes it very easy to drag and drop animations onto your photo. You can see some of what it can do here.
The only thing I have to say to Joe is, blinging out a photo of me is pretty good linkbait.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Nice! I love the pimp cup! Haha. I heard about this a few weeks ago, definitely a myspace-user tool.
John Chow goes Hollywood! LOL
unfortunately your hand missed to hold the cup i think, hope people wont pay attention to those minor things
ShoeMoney has John beat with this post.
Who cares? Not everyone reads Shoe and John Chow
Yeah, because you know, this was a competition to see who could post about it first. Come on.
Oh alright… so John Chow lost for sure
I still think it was worth posting though since it’s easy content for the site.
LoL I second that. Was it myspace tool? Mind providing a link or something? Might wanna get something similar myself lol
Yeah its more for myspace users but its a nice tool

Yeah I saw it on their a while ago too.
That photo is hilarious.
Shoe already posted this last week, better late tne never
John finally got his linkbait thats why
HAHA, thats awesome!
John, I have been reading yr blog. This time it’s real funny but handsome and it’s magnet me to your site. Cool. I want to have one pic like this.
Real cool ya. Nice photo and handsome looking yeh
You almost look like a gentleman
thank you john for such a nice article.You are my idol.
Hmm.. How do you go over budget on coding a flash program? Is it because he bought Macromedia Flash?
Snoop Dogg has nothing on you.
John, that not like you at all !
There are several programs for such .gif animations, but good someone made it easier for those MySpace freaks 
Good one I just wanna say thank you johnny you deserve every pennny that you earn you are great ….nice pimpin
Pass the crunk juice would ya, John?
Wow yet another way 12 yr old girls can ‘spice’ up their MySpace pages! Ugh am I the only one that thinks the ability to add ‘bling’ like the phone john has above to be a bit tacky?
On the other hand, I suppose if the site is geared towards 12 yr old girls who want to ‘bling’ up their MySpace page then he’s done a good job of it.
Side notes while looking at the site:
a) uploading a photo on my dual t1s took more than a few seconds perhaps they could change the wording as some people might get annoyed that the website lied to them! lol
b) definitely marketed for girls since the default font colour was pink
c) I like how it offers you multiple resolutions
d) and gives you various Social Media sites to upload it too as well as the URL so you can paste it else where
e) relatively easy to use too!
Its just neat I doubt he is saying use it all over as it does get old.
Yeah Jacky is right! Your hand looks like slipping through the cup.
Regardless of what you think of the site and/or picture you have to admit that it was a good linkbait idea.
That photo has turned out to be awesome.
I have to say you look really snazy in that hat John
Very funny! I saw this in Shoemoney
Looks like your going to change the blog to Miscellaneous Remblings of a Dot Com Pimp…
Lol That is pretty funny.
What if john changed his theme to “bling” for a week or two.
I saw this same thing in shoemoney like a week or more ago.
haha john isn’t that what you wear normally?
Keep your pimp hand strong my friend!
lol i don’t really know if i need a pimp cup that badly….
Hehe, Cool guy.
It seemed a bit slow when I used it before.
