From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

Jo - I was looking for matching urls too and was struggling. Mabel I think you have been given some fantastic advice, but from what everyone has said I think you need to go through it all slowly and check all the links and maybe even consider a rework. This is where it gets really difficult isn't it - outlaying money / risk of bringing money in .....wish I could give you a definitive answer. Which e-commerce sites are your favourites for ease of used etc, can you incorporate any elements of those?

Its just taken me an hour and a half but now if you click on the bit on the homepage with the Icicle bracelet pic (under gallery) it should take you to a new page with all the Icicle collection products on...my brain hurts now!

Ive been trying to work out how to add links to the 'other product' photos on the page but still can't . The photos are on the site via Filezilla and I cant work out how to do links or even if its possible. I agree it needs doing tho.
Think the homepage looks a bit better already (ignoring the side bar)

afternoon all....

Mabel - the one things I love about your guys and this thread is that when we ask for help we get it..... If there is anything I can do to help all you need to do is ask!!


Hey Dilli... Jo.... Nixi..... NLID.....

Glasto might be in doubt... There is Chicken Pox going round the school (well one out of 18 kids has it! LOL!) and DS was complaining of tummy ache last night.... apparently it is one of the first symptoms...:( I hope they don't get it as its not fair to expect the in laws to come down and look after the kids when they are ill....

At least I unsured the tickets so I should get my money back.....

Fingers crossed they are okay or come down with it now and get it over and done with.... rather than a day or two before....

On the plus side another good day for PM orders.... 10 today so far (well 24 hours from lunchtime yesterday!).... still not in profit but fees are covered and a little left over to re invest.... I have my eyes on another product line...just need the funds to get a decent price....

Off to pack orders and sort out some work before I pick up DS from school....

Ok anything apart from that....unless you fancy a swap for a deranged collie puppy?!

mambury

probably easier than two deranged kids!!

hmmm, that was an interesting phonecall....

An old (read Ex) client of mine has just phoned up asking me to take him back on for his website internet marketing, and this time he is willing to sign a fixed term contract!

Now the real question is should I revisit the past and take his money again (Its a reasonable contract but he is nie on impossible to contact)

I already know the answer, im doing the analysis now as I could do with both the setup fee and the monthly income from him lol!
