ohhh i see :rolleyes: now this is silly questions but ~ with your own website can people then find you on google? When you purchase a 'mr site' do you then pay £30 each year to keep the site running? I dont know anything about html/checkouts/putting anything together, can a techno phobe do this? Is it worth testing the water for a few months on ebay or would you suggest getting a 'mrsite' before or after xmas?

PaP - I'm sorry that I'm late in replying, but the Mr Site websites are really simple - you can choose from several 'template' page settings or design your own - you can get your own business email address, as well as choosing your own web address, for example papscards.co.uk. I used them for about three years when I had my business - and I was totally 'computer illiterate'. Yes you do have to pay a yearly fee - I think it's about £25, but the sites do look really professional. I am getting another one for my new business - my son is getting it for me as a Christmas Present.

where did this site go :eek: anyways ~

thanks rog and thanks to tru too... the good news is i am getting my mr site :j so i have cancelled my ebay shop ~ to stop me getting fees and all my items are now normal items so i have factored it into my monthly soa (see below) there are many reasons i have done this but mainly because i need site traffic to sell my items, having an ebay shop isnt like listing a normal item and unless somone knows you are there no one visits but i guess people can google handmade cards and find me i hope this makes sense and its not just a way around me spending money...

rog ~ would you get the box delived from firebox etc for £35 and get 10% cash back or would you just get it all through email? on the mr site, site it says you get everything that you get in the box emailed to you ~ what would you suggest?

anyways pay day thursday and my new pay... however i am still being reserved as i want a cushion... so

£25.00 ~ Halifax ~ locked
£5.00 ~ Halifax ~ web saver
£20.00 ~ Sarah’s cards, monthly scrap

sarah i have to be with money or it all goes wrong. I dont know about mrsite but i have had some pm's that have been really usefull, i have next thursday till tuesday inclusive off hence why i will order it on thursday if i buy it or i will buy if electroniclly maybe sat/sunday. With regards to the cards, yes i would like to get a bulk made ~ maybe 30+ also at least 10 packs of cards and notelets and some bookmarks made ready. I suspect i will try and go live monday 26th in the morning maybe 10am? this then gives me 8 nights (maybe 2+ hours) and 4 full days. So i will make some progress. Need to get some xmas cards made but i have turned off from xmas these past few days but i have a few 'samples' i mind its just getting them off my brain storm pad and onto the cards :rolleyes:

its all systems go... i will make xmas cards up to the last avalible posting day so prob the 16th december, then its onto easter cards and the usuall aniversay and birthday cards

I really wish I could be as motivated and organised as u... I'm terrible at using the phrase 'I just don't have time' then end up on here for hours

Have u shut ur eBay down already?

sarah its a cheat really as i make cards while on here so although i am getting loads done i am still snuggled up on my pc yep the ebay shop is colsed but you can still find me if you search paps cards... they are all normal auctions on my main account now, once they finish any that doesnt sell will all be put onto my new site
