Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

web site assistance
Well things have changed a lot since the days of mailing lists and shows being the common outlet of offspring produced sooo.... I guess with Mary's 1st batch on the way hopefully, We need to start thinking about getting on the web.
Any tips, tricks, suggestions, incite or recommendations for a 1st timer that will assist us in building and putting up a site?
Any one willing to help us get one going?
Thank You Scott and Mary Ras

Depending on how big you anticipate this first season being, a website might not be the most efficient means for making sales.
I used Yahoo Site Builder for mine. I had my site up for a while; then I decided to go in a different direction with it, so I tore most of it down. I did have a basic idea of what I wanted to do, but it wasn't clear enough for me to easily run with...the result being that it is still languishing, unfinished. Some people might find it, but there isn't a whole lot of reason for people to go looking for it, lol. Is it worth me having it - not really....I generate far more interest through my activity here, and placing ads, than I do from my site.
I've also come to the opinion that if one is going to have a website (for reptile sales), it pays to do it right and get a good one.

Wordpress is a really great way to get started. It's a little tricky initially setting up the database, but most host services provide assistance with this. Wordpress is essentially free blogging software, but there's a LOT of templates to work with. Once you get it set up, the interface makes updating incredibly easy because it's php based, so it's all dynamic content.

Polasian, one of the mods here does some website work and had some awesome designs. It has been a year or two though since I discussed it so they may or maynot still be in that business?
