As a perfect example of why macosxhints.com isn't the ideal outlet for timely tips, consider the following two Valentine's Day items from the submission queue. They should both have gone up on or before the 14th, but I only reached their position in the queue this morning:

Item #1, from reader bkazez:

"I just created a simple app called ValentineMaker, which lets you create a customized Valentine's Day Dashboard widget to send to anyone you want (they must be running 10.4, obviously).

It's free, and I thought it might add a nice Valentine's Day theme to today's hints."

Item #2, from anonymous:

"It's not too late for a dramatic rescue on Valentine's Day. If you have a small child, this hint might be useful and fun -- especially if you haven't yet secured a card for your spouse.

The new iPhoto has a card feature with some very pretty templates. One of them is a hearts theme, which is pefect for creating a Valentine's Day card. But you ask "how can we print these from iPhoto, or order them, and still expect to have them delivered within the same day?" Good question. Thanks to the Mac's great screen capture capabilities, though, you don't have to. Here's how to create your own card using a template from iPhoto:

So as you can see, macosxhints isn't really the spot for timely tips :) -- mainly because the queue is always a few days old as I work my way through it. If you have something that's really time critical, please email me directly with a heads-up that you put something in the queue -- there's an email link at the bottom of every page. That way, I'll know to look ahead for it, and hopefully get it up in a timely manner.
