Hopefully this is the place to post this.
Working on websites for the wife, and its a ROYAL pain trying to figure out the merchant account, but getting there slowly...
In the meantime, I decided to start my own that I can link to hers when / IF, it ever gets done... SO... No Laughing! ;D
If you have the spare time, take a look, and tell me all about the stuff I screwed up...
Its not advertised with search engines etc yet, and probably wont be for a while. My NEW Camera is gone, along with a lot of the pics it had on the SDHC card... so I ordered a new one, a nicer one that does HD vids etc, and plan to add a LOT to the site as time passes..
I'll never surpass Don, but hope it will be an informative site, so feel free to give me ideas, links etc, to make it better.
I'd never post this anywhere else, but feel pretty safe with this group!!!
Thanks Guys and Gals!

Looks good so far Scott. I really like the swarm box (in the middle). Looks like a bigger version of the plywood nucs I make. Have you figured out how many you can make with one sheet of plywood?
-
Your web site looks pretty good. The only thing I might suggest is reconsideration of the dark background - some find dark backgrounds make reading difficult.
I don't think web sites ever get quite finished. I have one I have been working on since about 1994.
-
7 tops and bottoms if you cut SQUARE ... meaning I only usually get 6..
-
Looks good; well thought out;
Good advice there for a beginner faced with the multitude of decisions to make when getting going.
-
HA! i have had a website for a couple years and still don't have it up and running, well it's up but there is nothing there.......
looks pretty good to me, and i enjoyed reading. on your main page where you mention the forum, put a link in that to here!!!
;D

Great Job Scott. As a new bee keeper I did find it very informative. A lot of good basic info.. I book marked your page. Will check in from time to time to see how its progressing.
I do have to agree with DM on the dark backround. Might be because these eyes ain't gettin any younger and really needing them other kind of specs.....lol Probably fine for most folks.
Thanks for sharing your site :D
-
Put a link to it in your signature line, and a link to here on your site.
-
Will do.. will probably fuss with it a bit tonight...
I will change the background.. I like the white on black, easier for me to see, but I guess the point is for OTHER people to see it..... Thanks for the tips, keep them coming... Content you'd like to see? Anything you would like NOT to see?? I didnt put any pics of ME on there so i cant be adviced to get rid of those ;D

I love the color scheme as well. What if you tried making the font a size larger?? Wonder if that would make any difference?
-
This is pretty picky but since you are still making changes i think there is a spelling error. Where you say "bare with me" I think it should be spelled "bear".
Just a slightly different invitation if you take it literally! :)
-
Font size increased and the White letters are a brighter color white now, and Bare is now Bear ;D Any better?
Links established as well. can click on the little green ball under my avatar. Button on main page of site updated to come here.
-
the link is awsome lazy!!!! i am having a harder time now with the larger white font.......sorry.....just me maybe? ;D
-
Much easier on my eyes. Looking good Scott.
-
Lazy, compare your front page with this forum page. Do you like the black on white, or the white on black better?
-
Personally I like the white letters better, but what I like isnt as important as what everyone else likes!!
I'll see what it will take to transpose the colors and see how that looks.
-
It looks really good, congratulations. Like the concept. The only thing I have problem with is white letters/font. Hard on my eyes:-))
Ha I see you posted in the meantime:-))
-
OK.. different style, light background dark letters and larger font....
Any better?
-
Much better:-))
-
Just right, I can now see and read without so much eye fugitive as before, thanks looks great.

looks great lazy, i like it, easier on older eyes...lol 8)

Considering all the work you've put into your site, maybe you should change your moniker from "lazy" to "busy" beekeeper.
Good job.
-
well Ef.. according to my mother, and my wife.. if you ENJOY something it isn't work and doesn't count!!!
Most of the world would see anything that makes a bit of money and involves physical or mental labor as work. Apparently the female gender you are related to, have the ability to VETO any WORLD vote. :o
Apparently it is perfectly acceptable for either of them to supersede accepted definitions. It is also possible for them to amend and change their definitions completely on only a moments notice.. Making it worse, LACK of knowledge of those amendments or changes, moments BEFORE the amendments or changes is no excuse and does NOT exclude you from the punishment for breaking the laws as set forth, amended, or changed by Mother or wife.

lazy.....you sound almost like a politician or an attorney with all that lingo..... :D

lazy.....you sound almost like a politician or an attorney with all that lingo..... :D
Yeah, and he is convincing too, I almost started sobbing over his situation :D
-
........and my wife.. if you ENJOY something it isn't work and doesn't count!!!
Sounds like your wife and mine know each other. :o
-
lazy.....you sound almost like a politician or an attorney with all that lingo..... :D
:o wow, Did I insult you Mrs River? Did I do something to make you angry at me? :'( Surely I have not done anything to you that would make you call me such horrible names!!!! I mean, you can kick my dog, or convince my wife to leave me, but.. Politician and Attorney? :o :sad: :'(
-
lazy, absolutely not, all in fun!.....
you made me laugh with your descriptive post! LOL!!!
-
Oh.. whew.. thank goodness. I was thinking you were gonna turn MEAN like my wife!!! ;D
-
RB, I think Jack has been teaching him. He is picking on you pretty heavy. You are gonna have to fire back on him. ;D
-
Just for the records, LazyBkpr, you might be interested in knowing that "Mrs. River's" husband is an attorney. Step lightly.
-
geez i must be getting soft? well, it's jack's fault...... :D
yes lazy i have heard quite a bit of the language you used in your post, in my household and then some......and when it's used, i just tell him to go outside and come back in and take the 'hat' off at the door, or just flat out give him the look, WUT? and tell hiim he can take his 'hat' off now.....
seriously, i tell him, are you done now? speak riverbee language..... :laugh:
(hat=legal hat)
-
LOL Wifes cousin is an attorney. He LOVES to argue, so we all thought that would be the perfect job for him some 20+ years ago.. surprisingly, thats exactly what he went for... he is now called the family SHARK.. and we abuse him terribly with shark repellant, shark bait, shark cages and nifty little files for sharpening shark teeth....
Like you Mrs. River.. we have to tell him often to speak in Blue collar English. m I'll remember the hat thing.. of course, I will have to inflate it it a bit to fit his head!!
-
And one of our daily members is also an attorney.
-
lazy, 'shark' is pretty much a moniker given to attorneys.... :D
-
K, website has been updated again. Still, and always looking for advice, so if your looking for something to do, go check it out while relaxing for the evening and give me some pointers!!! http://outyard.weebly.com/ you can also click on the link by my name to the right!!!

I gave up on Windstream Yesterday. They published my wifes site last Friday.. after 5 months... and it was pretty nasty. I went in to try to start editing, and you would have to be a web pro to use the tool set they have.. Agrivated, I contacted them.. well, they offer 1/2 hour a month of free updates.. OK, so how do I get 50 products / prices / weights and measurements on there?
Its going to take TIME was the answer....
So I had the domain pointed toward weeblys servers and started in on my own. A day and a half and she has a functioning site.. I haven't been this angry in many years.. over a grand in costs for nothing. 5 months plus of paying for something I did not have.. grrrrrr....
On the up side.. I updated my own site to match hers.
New links etc. The vid of the extractor, links to you tubes for the Vaporizer etc..
Don gave me the OK to Link, as did Mel Disselkoen. surprised me when he answered my Email less than an hour after I sent it. seems like a down to earth guy.
Brushy mountain got back to me within a couple of hours, and of Course, you cant have a bee website without linking to the Bushkill Bee vac and Swarm trap pages..
The ONLY one who has not responded to the mail I sent is Mann Lake.. Disappointing in them. Looks like I have to start paying for shipping again, or wait for free shipping specials.
So if you get the chance, have a look. If you have a better way of doing something send me an Email. I may put it under what I posted as "alternate methods"
Thanks guys!
Keep those bees happy!
Scott
