Boy Howdy! It’s already hot this morning! I can’t wait until this afternoon (NOT!!). The heat this summer is really getting to me. Although the year is flying by, and I deplore that, I will be happy to see the cooler temperatures of fall. At least we are getting a little bit of rain in the afternoons.

Uploaded a couple of photos to webshots this morning – one in birds and one in critters. I hope you enjoy them.

I finally have Suzel’s site uploaded to her host and am in the process of putting together her shopping cart and the support pages that show her fabric choices and the extras that can be added to the collars. We talked for a long time last night on the phone. She is like a little kid over this website. Just thrilled to death, but it’s really hard getting preferences out of her. Everything seems to please her 😆 It makes it easy on the one hand and hard on the other. For myself, I’m thrilled with the opportunity to test my new found knowledge on a site I’m not so emotionally tied to.

I seem to get “stuck in a rut” on my own website — although I’ve changed some of the look (and thank goodness for css to make THAT so easy!), it’s still the same website and I feel like I need to change a lot more than just the header and colors. I know I need to add a sitemap since that might help with page rankings in Google — right now, if you search on Whippets, we’re on about page 32 which isn’t a very great ranking. I did realize that my keywords didn’t make it over when I did the re-vamp a couple of years ago and added those last month, so that should help some, but I’m not sure how often Google re-ranks pages. If you add Kemar in front, we’ll come up on the first page, but I would like to be higher when searching on just the one word. There aren’t many people who will go to the 32nd page of the search engine results to find us 😆

Well, it’s time to go to work. Y’all stay cool!

Love to all,

Margaret
