Revamping my Website! Yikes!

Okay, another one of those instances where I clearly bit off more than I could chew.  I seem to be one of those who is constantly doing that - I guess because I know in the end, it does work out well.   The last time I bit off more than I could chew, I wiped my desktop hard drive clean and started over from scratch - reinstalling every program, even changing to Windows 7 from Vista (hallelujah)!  The whole endeavor was a joy to behold!  The end result is a dream, though, so I'm glad I undertook the project.  On my behalf, I have to admit that I was thrown in to that project.   It seems when I downloaded some Windows updates and my computer froze during download, my idea to shut the computer down at the conduit was not the best idea.  It completely crashed ... the black screen of death reared it's ugly head!

Now, on to my latest instance of biting off more than I could chew ... the website revamp.   It started due to the aforementioned computer crash and is still a work in progress.   I plan to redo the photo gallery with thumbnails which is going to take the better part of a lifetime.  I plan to add a button for giveaways and for memberships.   I have big plans  :o)   In the meantime, I have allowed what I have finished to go "live" and would love to hear comments or suggestions.   Here's a link if you have a moment to peek in ... Booh Bears Revamped Website 

Here's to those who bite off more than they can chew ... all's well that ends well!  xxxx

  2. Oh I know I have to do this soon, but there's so many better things to do, like, err, redecorate the flat, and well, anything else that is normally abhorrent to me is suddenly appealing...

  3. Janice, what you have done is beautiful. The pages, the words, oh just so beautiful. It will be worth all the effort, especially since you sell so much from your website.
