While building your website, it's best not to link to a page you
haven't built yet. Takes longer to find links that actually
go somewhere - and frustrates visitors less. You can put in
the text so visitors get an idea of where you're going with the
site and see that it's not linked yet - without having to click
on it to find out.

I think Mr. Kaiser sums the situation up exactly. ;-{

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I know better than to do what I did ... but so far the site has had
about 6 hits that weren't me ... including two from my wife ... so not
many eyes have seen my boo-boo. In the meantime, the search bots have
something to look at & catalog.

Nailshooter ... Charlie is correct. Some of the original links were doa.
You may have seen it after him. Development is pretty much a daily
matter ... although calling me a web developer is like calling Adolf
Hitler an artist. But, like him, I do my best and eventually the barn
gets painted. Links that were dead for him may have been deleted or
fixed by the time you saw it.

Today I made the tables match, added a price list and finished some jobs
in the shop. Tomorrow I will post some pix to the medium sized pens
section (it has none) and also some keyfobs, perfume atomizers and
candlesticks. Then, too, there is the matter of getting a couple dozen
bowls posted. And some fresh work making wand kaleidoscopes, more
perfume atomizers, more pens and so on. ALso want to get the laminating
started for some more canes so I will have some to show on the web
site. And also some more cutting boards.

This is fun ... right?

One of my Bible students died Wednesday at 11 a.m. so I will have a
busier than normal schedule for the next few days. His wife is studying
with my wife so we can't just 'pop-in' for the funeral.

Ah well, we (all concerned, including him) knew this was coming. He was
in the hospital a couple weeks ago and reminded me of the pix of
prisoners at Auschwitz near the end of the war. He just had no reserves.
He could not quit smoking, so he died a fairly slow death from
emphysema. Less than a month ago, he lit a cigarette with the oxygen
mask too near his face and managed to burn himself pretty good. That
might have been the straw that broke the camels back.
