Learn to make a web page in about 2 minutes
2 minutes may be a bit of an exageration but I can say that of all of the HTML editors I have tested to write critiques about, Site Builder is by far the easiest to use. Being a person stuck in the old school way of making web pages, writing every bit of code by hand, I never really caught on to... Sign in to see full entry.

The hunt for estore owners continues
Now that I am comfortable with operating my new auction web site and have most of the cosmetic tweaking done, I have begun inviting merchants with bricks and mortar businesses to open an online store. The pace is slow to be sure but necessarily so as there is still a learning curve on my part. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Ready to go live with my new auction site
What a difference dealing with professionals makes. After having my ProBids software installed just 2 days ago, I'm ready to go live and open for business. (more or less) There will be a few things that I have overlooked, there is always room for improvement but now the real challenge begins....... Sign in to see full entry.

No time for turkeys
I've often said that I know just enough about writing web page code to be dangerous, that is my attempt at being humble. I'm not an expert, I'm self trained but I do know enough to know when someone else doesn't know squat. I spent last week piddling around with an auction script that I purchased...

The web forum is slowly chugging along
Back a few months ago, I started a web forum to act as a bulletin board and as a place for my online friends or clients to ask questions about web authoring. Without putting too much effort into it the membership has slowly (very slowly) increased one by one. 3 more clients will be joining this week... Sign in to see full entry.

The plan unfolds
Now that I have gotten my auction script working, I see that populating it with activity will take countless hours. I have no desire to invest this time so I will set up a traffic generating tool that will self populate with eBay listings. As an eBay affiliate, I can do that. I will concentrate on...

Suggestions needed
As I mentioned in the last post, I have been looking for a means of providing a utility for my clients to sell their small surplus items on my web site. I've tried classified ads scripts and have just recently given an online auction script a try. Once I had the auction script installed, I was a bit... Sign in to see full entry.

An auction site - I think I'll put it up for auction
I just finished cobbling together an auction web site from an inexpensive script: HERE One close look at the aesthetic details of this site and it becomes apparent that the way it is laid out and the number of images used, is an ill conceived way to accomplish an amateurish look. There are a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow - look what I bought for $22
In my rather ambitious commercial endeavor (possibly over ambitious) there were 3 components that I wanted to make available to my online clients. The first one was my online store, which has a few clients and garners a fair bit of offline business even while under construction. The second component... Sign in to see full entry.
