Talk About Busy!

Hi there!

The gang down at Green Home MegaStore and Sue and Craig Websites has been really busy the past few weeks! As you read in “New Websites“, they put up five new online stores at the beginning of the month. Now they’ve gone and done themselves one better – they just finished putting twelve (yes, that’s 12) websites online this past weekend.

Here’s the list:

• Dealing With Anxety Attacks
• Stress Management
• Spinal Cord
• Lose Those Extra Pounds
• Overcoming Allergies
• Staying Fit and Trim
• Cleanse and Detox Your Body
• Chiropractic Care
• Caring For The Elderly
• Down Syndrome
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Osteoporosis

Technically, these are all the same type of site – a dynamic php design with rotating home pages. From the reader’s point of view, they are all informational or content sites, and they all fall in the general “health” category. They were put up at this time (and there are a few more to follow) to complement “I Don’t Want To Get OLD!“, which has now been published.

You are invited to come by and take a look at all these sites – they represent a lot of hard work!

Ciao for now!

Tak About Busy!

Talk About Busy!

Hello again!

It’s been some time since I wrote last, but we’ve been busy – primarily with the jv based on Green Home MegaStore dot com. We have put up a number of new sites – mostly WP blogs – and have updated some of them to the newest version, WP 2.8.1. But we’ve had some compatibility problems with the 2.8 and 2.8.1 versions – actually, with the plugins that are not keeping up with WP’s progress for the most part. We are finding 2.8 is easier to use than 2.7 and lower, but 2.8.1 has some stability problems in terms of the view when we are composing posts and pages – it fluctuates on the page and you don’t always see the area where the cursor is.

Green Home MegaStore and our newest, I Don’t Want To Get Old, were off-line for about two days before we found the “villian” – a plugin that doesn’t work on 2.8 and above (at least not yet). They are back now, but it’s still a little rocky – sometimes we have problems getting the sites to come up on a browser. We’re looking at what we can do and what we have to leave out to make the sites fully functional.

Also, on Green Home MegaStore, we have installed five (yes – 5) online stores of various types. Some are completely for electronic products (that you can download), while others are for “hard goods”. Two of them are international – Canada and the UK – and more of these are on the way.

Other sites that are new are:

Practical Greenology
Go Green – Save Green
Aromatherapy
Zumba!

There are a few more in the wings, but the operating sites tend to take priority – particularly when they’re not functioning properly!

Ciao for now!

Hi there,

We are pleased to announce (a little pre-maturely) that we have made a joint venture with Sue Fleckenstein of Ontario, Canada, to put together a series of websites and asociated goodies to make a commercial website called Green Home MegaStore, which you can find at http://GreenHomeMegaStore.com. Our joint venture effort is named Sue & Craig Websites – tricky, huh? (rev. 2009.02.18)

The main site will be the hub for a series of sites covering alternative energy, energy use efficiencies, gardening and associated activities, home cleansing in the form of purifiers of various types, automotive fuel efficiency practices, personal health and well-being, and other similar items. We currently have about 40% of the various websites on line in one form or another. The entire project is (obviously) not yet complete, and may continue to be a “work-in-progress” for years as we continue to discover new articles and practices that deserve your attention.

Technically, at this point, the hub site is a conventional hand-written html site with links off to the other websites. The hub site is a WordPress blog based on a very nice theme from Function Design & Development Studio, wefunction.com, on a basis that fits our purposes very well. (rev. 2009.02.18)  The other sites range from a brand new WordPress blog to static and dynamic AdSense-optimised php sites and html sites. At the moment, everything is a little helter-skelter as we are still getting our sites organised. We also envision that the entire site will become a membership site when it approaches “maturity.” For the moment, it is a free site with free membership required to comment on the blog.

We would like to invite you to visit the site(s) and put them on your favorites list.

That’s about all for now,

Hello!

We’ve recently put up two new websites under a new domain name and a new hosting company.

The first is named “Webmaster Resources and Information” and is posted at http://webmaster-resources.info. Technically, it is a blog and uses WordPress 2.6.2 blog software along with the “This Just In!” theme – the same as the one you’re looking at now. It is highly SEO-optimised for future “returns.” The subject of the website is just what the name says, and the first series of posts will be for people who want to write their first website and put it online. Future posts will address less basic information, but there will also be a thread for people new to posting blogs and how to do that.

The second new website is named “My Own Home Based Internet Business” and it is located at http://my-own-home-based-internet-business.webmaster-resources.info. The website is a static php information site containing about 30 pages. The subject is obvious from the name, and the Free Monthly Websites template has been tweaked somewhat to accommodate our prejudices and preferences. :-)

The hosting company is DGNS Solutions, and they’re associated with All Teamed Up. We received one year free hosting on this account as a membership bonus from ATU – apparently it was so popular that it “sold out” – it’s no longer available, but there is a plan with the same hosting organisation for less than US$ 1.50 per month for pro ATU members. 

We would appreciate you taking a look at the two new sites, and welcome your comments.

Also coming soon will be an online and offline shopping mall operated through Discount Home Shoppers Club, which we have just joined as a VIP member. We will keep you posted on exactly where to find the website as soon as we are that far along.

That’s all for now…

Ciao
