Summertime Wets – August 2010

Summertime Wets!

What does that mean, “summertime wets”? Well, I guess that’s my way of complaining about the weather recently! Up until last weekend, we had had only two days without rain in four weeks (but at least they were both Saturdays)! Then we had two days of sun, but today, rain again.

I guess I shouldn’t complain too much – after all, it didn’t rain all day all of those days (although some of them, yes it did!). But if it had rained all day all those days, Switzerland would be on the way down the Rhine to the North Sea or the Rhone to the Mediterranean or the Engadine via the Inn and the Danube to the Black Sea or the Ticino via the Po to the Adriatic (depending on where in Switzerland you happen to be). In any case, we’re not the only ones with rain problems in the world – in India and Pakistan and northern central Europe (Poland and eastern Germany) they have (way) too much, and in Russia with all their brush/forest fires, not enough (none to be precise).

Well – enough about weather. We have a few new websites, and we have dropped some as well:

New sites:

  • STARWIND is a contract site about the STARWIND brand wind turbines in the MegaWatt class, and it belongs to the STARWIND AG here in Switzerland
  • Also new is the long-named Cure Infertility and Get Pregnant Naturally for the poor women who are having problems conceiving a baby. This is a JV website on Sue and Craig Websites

Sites that we have dropped for various reasons include

  • MophieBlog.com
  • BuyingMophie.com
  • HypnoticBeachApts.com
  • HypnotikBeachApts.com
  • HypnotiqueBeachApts.com
  • and a few others

We will continue to weed out non-productive websites in the coming months, mostly as their domain name renewals come due.

We are in the process of updating all our WordPress blogs to version 3.0.1. The improvements that came with version 3.0 resolved a number of technical problems we had with various hosting operations, and that is still the case with 3.0.1. Thanks guys!

I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for looking in!

Update Jan 2010
Hello again,

We’ve been busy – and still are – putting websites back on line with the necessary conforming text for the new FTC regulations, and also after some major revamps. One in the highlight at the moment is Practical Greenology. It has a bright new theme; yes, we finally got rid of the rather simple-minded original one. Also, it’s daughter blog, Go Green – Save Green, is being roled into one blog at Practical Greenology to combine some of our efforts and to keep from having to tend to some of our sub-domain sites, which tend to be difficult to promote. We also have a new site named iPhone Mophie (http://iphonemophie.com)to try to capitalise on some of the moentum we’re making with the Mophie Blog site.

There is, of course, much more less-visible work going on as well. We even have one old blog (it’s in WordPress version 2.5.1 and this one is now – as of this writing – at 2.9.1) that we will probably remake based on a modern theme. It was originally a Blogger product, so this will be the second move for it.

In keeping with our decision to discontinue the brokerage and face-to-face consulting business in Bulgaria, there will be some changes to our Good2004.biz FrontPage site as well – and some of them have already been initiated.

Our cooperative efforts at Sue & Craig Websites include a new website for the coop itself at http://sueandcraigwebsites.com. It has a very attractive theme and has lots of promise, although it is really just a storefront like this blog.

We are also re-doing the original Webmaster-Resources.info training site into a more modern Webmaster-Resources-Info.com after we had some problems with the hosting and domain name provider for the original site.

As you can see, we’re not just sitting on our backsides enjoying the winter weather! But I have to say that the weather here in central Italy is much less unpleasant than our partner Sue’s weather in northern Ontario! And that will also be the case when we finally get back to Switzerland; even though we’re in the Alps there, we’re not that high up.

Thanks again for looking in,

Craig
