• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
 
Well this year we are not really producing much Mary has some hypos in the works and we have a wg girl who may or may not have retained sperm who looks gravid even though she was not bred this year. but it is next years breeding I am getting prepared for I have my El Salvador boas I held back until next year and have high hopes with the blood and patternless genes, My wife should have some snows and some WG hypo's 100% het anery and 50% het Kahl albino
I am one of those that likes to get things together a head of time if I can.
 
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?
