Fat Chic Sales Roundup for your Smartphone
If you have a Smartphone, line this up in your barcode scanner - and you can check for sales while you're out and about. While a lot of my retailers are online, it's still nice to try! note: I have no idea why it's so huge on the main blog. Within the post it's 182 x 182.
A few problems with Google custom search
For those of you who try using Google custom search, you may be sharing in my frustration. The system has never been perfect, but lately it seems that the "Google powered" part of Google custom search has disappeared completely, making Fat Chic Plus Size Clothing search really difficult to use. It can be used - as long as you only use the [...]
An unsolicited blog post about unsolicited blog posts
Every so often, I've found it necessary to do this, and I suppose it's been long enough that the time has come 'round. To clarify any confusion: roughly 95% of what I blog about is unsolicited by the brands that I write about. Big or small, the companies I write about generally don't know I'm coming. It's a happy and sad state of affairs that [...]
Fat Chic is 5 years old!
Fat Chic's first post was in February, 2007. I've been at it ever since. It caught me by surprise, too!
Fat Chic SNAFU – please help!
In an effort to make my daily work more efficient, I merged all my email accounts.

If you are one of these people, you should have my email - so PLEASE contact me as soon as possible, and [...]
Welcome People Style Watch Readers!
Welcome new visitors that found me through the November 2011 People Style Watch. What a fabulous mention, so thank you, thank you, thank you Gabi! You're coming in at quite the dynamic time for me. Last year certainly had its accomplishments - a mention in the New York Times, along with visits to Lane Bryant headquarters and Just My Size at their [...]
A Sunday evening blog from Di
A few housekeeping notes for my lovely devoted readers out there: first, I have not abandoned you, nor given up on plus size fashion, nor suddenly joined the ranks of the body hating. I still love Fat Chic, especially as it absolutely validates the time I spend combing over every aspect of fashion I can. I've just dialed it down for awhile. [...]
NO TEXT LINK ADS
I have been inundated with text link ads requests for the past three months, and I'm at the end of my patience. The answer is, without exception, NO. I even have it highlighted in red on my advertising page. Surely there aren't that many marketing and PR agents that are colorblind. I realize many of you are thinking from your [...]

Fat Chic’s New Year’s Resolutions
My resolutions don't follow the normal pattern of "quit this" and "lose that." I used to do that, but all it did was lead me down the path to trite jokes involving giving up my New Year's resolutions for Lent. ((Especially funny to those who know I don't observe Lent .)) I use the same philosophy on resolutions that I use when I go on one of my [...]
