Website is slowly coming together

After nearly a year of doing nothing with the website, Leanne and I are finally getting ourselves together and are working to get it workable. Yesterday we put in a new page, uploaded pictures and fixed links and old pages. We have a long ways to go but at least we are making an effort.

The shame of it is, that due to some of the optimization we did last year, we've been getting a ton of traffic. Amazing considering we've done no advertising and have really had no way to sell any of our jewelry. Also leaves us feeling really REALLY dumb for not having done anything earlier.

So this week it's web work, lots and lots of web work. I'm hoping that Leanne finds that she loves the work and figures out how to make web expressions SING. It frustrates ME because there are things I'd love to do but can't figure out how to do it. ARGH. Guess it's time to go back to the manual.

Do follow along with what's happening there ( http://wwww.coloruspurple.com ) and if you have suggestions to make, we would welcome them.

Ranting, raving and venting, amongts other stuff

I hate web work. Just hate it. I uploaded a brand new beautiful website at beadhussy.com and guess what. ALL my pages are now blank. not one or two but ALL. Godaddy is doing their best to help me, but I'm not a happy hussy. Sure would help if I was some teenaged wiz who understands this garbage intuitively, but instead, I'm a middle aged cranky woman who thinks that this stuff has been created by freaky demon gods who just love to see people like me swear, hiss, rant, rave and freak out over something that is supposed to be "simple". This is NOT good for my blood pressure, which at last check, was 187/81. Guess I should go back on my medication. Sheesh.

And PLEASE, for those that can afford to hire someone to do this crap for them. Don't tell me about it. I don't want to know, it will just make me suicidal. Or homicidal. Some kind of cidal anyway. BeadHussy.com is just starting out after a long hiatus and Leanne and I have spent every penny available on beads, findings, licenses to make it legal and everything else involved with a new business. The coffers are empty.

Had a small tradgedy yesterday, Flower, the ancient and decrepid rat, shuffled off this mortal coil. Popped her clogs. Fell off her perch. Died. The Seven year old is devestated. Funeral will be held this afternoon. The undertaker was busy yesterday digging his hole. All mourners will be present graveside, except for the football player who will not return until long after tears have been shed and cuddles passed around. sigh.

Well, tried it again. It ain't working. Back on the phone to godaddy. See me sigh.
