   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.

Looks good; well thought out;
Good advice there for a beginner faced with the multitude of decisions to make when getting going.

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

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! :)

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.
