Black Friday 2016 is just 3.5 weeks away (yes, that’s right!), and retailers are ramping up their offers. It’s a good time to stock up on store credits and bonuses with these type of offers. In addition to the previously mentioned Amazon Gift Card Reload promotion, Amazon also has a $5 bonus for Alexa Shoppers. If you make an Alexa Voice purchase from a list of participating items, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card for boldly going. The offer ends 11/18/16 or after 25,000 redemptions; whichever happens first. I don’t have an Alexa, so I can’t test this, so YMMV. Details at the aforelinked page.

Still Good: Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 for $40
This offer continues, the latest edition of Adobe Photoshop Elements, version 15 is going for $40 at Amazon as either a Windows download (available right away via download) or Box by Mail (“Temporarily Out Of Stock” but you can order it if you want to lock the price down). This is not a lightning deal, so I do not know what’s the time frame.
Meta: New Price Charts Series began with 35mm Full Frame Digital Cameras
The promised Price Charts series of November 2016 has began with the charts/discussion of 35mm Full Frame Digital Cameras. I won’t spoil the findings here, but it is definitely a different pattern from last year’s comparison. These will continue on a daily basis, with APS-C DSLRs, Mirrorless and finally Fixed-Lens Cameras getting their own posts. As usual please feel free to leave comments/corrections/omissions/etc. If I don’t notice a problem or error, I can’t fix it 🙂
YMMV: 1% Back on PayPal purchases (max $10 benefit)
Once upon a time PayPal reigned supreme as an online payment method. Now it’s getting attacked from all directions, so they discovered new technologies, like customer service and customer benefits 😉 They are now running a targeted promotion, it is a YMMV since I have no clue what percentage of their customers is getting this offer. If you are eligible, you should see it in your emails or PayPal website. You have to manually opt-in the offer by clicking on the Activate button in the mail. The benefit is this: you get 1% back on PayPal purchases until November 20, 2016 (of course they exclude Black Friday shopping!). The maximum cashback you get from this is $10 (=== $1000 in purchases). Here’s a screenshot from that email:

(RESOLVED) Technical Issue: Category Archives Show All posts
This has now been resolved, categories are working as expected again. Refresh the page if you still see the issue.
If any of you run into this, there’s a simple way to fix it in WordPress, go to Settings, then Permalinks, and change or enter something under “Category base”. Reload the page to make sure it takes effect, and then go back and change it to what it was before (or empty it if it was empty). Then refresh the page again, and it should work as expected.
The original post describing the issue is after the jump…
