None of this has anything to do with Tariffs. The...

Feedback, Fallout and Contributions
Bloody sun is coming out Sunday here which means I’m going to roast in this tin can (with windows doors shut for noise) or have fans and dogs and trains noise aplenty - so my vote is to get underway asap please!
Camera Creations now has its own website (well, kind of)! I decided to stop paying through the nose for domains and SSL registrations so dumped it, Steve Litchfield style, on my homepage! As he rightly points out, that’s what he does with all his stuff and has never had a problem - the RSS feeds are the important bit for the podcast world. Anyway, so it’s at tedsalmon.com/cameracreations - bare-bones for now but I’m beginning to agree with Steve - keep it simple. Everyone’s on social media now anyway, not websites! I might move all my stuff the same way over time as domains expire etc. I also dumped my main tedsalmon.com site back to basics (from the Google Sites fluffy-look one it has been) - so that also needs work.
