Short update on what we've been up to these past two weeks:
- BUG FIXES, over 50 of them.. squashed

HTML5 Video Support
We've added HTML5 video support as the default for stores! This means that your videos will play in non-flash environments such as the iPhone and iPad.
Additionally, you can choose to stream using RTMP to make videos more secure. Access the setting on your "My Store" page.

Purchase without signing up
We've made a small change that makes it easier for customers who are purchasing your videos. Previously we required an account registration before directing users to PayPal. Now, we skip that step and send an email to their PayPal account.
Here's an example of what customers will see in their inbox after they make a purchase from your store:

Improving Design Skills Through Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Today's blog post is inspired by my co-founder Ivan and his work on the design of our site. We'll walk you through his thought process and show you how to harness the power of OCD to become a better designer.
1. Get inspired.
Gather a list of designs that you find inspiring. These will be a starting point for the next step.
Here are a few of my favorites:
2. Emulate.
Emulation has been scientifically proven to be the most powerful learning device known to man. Take those stylistic elements that you desire, study them, and practice making them your own. Make sure to give credit when it's due, and don't be blatant about copying -- or karma will get you in the end.
3. Iterate!
Success comes with hard work. It's likely that you won't get it right the first time, but don't be discouraged. At each successive step, take a look at your previous attempt, and make sure your next one looks better.
Finally, here's a few iterations of what Ivan's been through in designing our front page.
I've made him promise to put off further designs until we've launched. There's lots more work to be done till then!
