“The RoseBouquet”

Sure enough! I did play photo studio all by myself on Sunday afternoon. With about 3 presses of my thumb I can set the camera to delay the shot for 10 seconds, followed by another shot 2 seconds later. Parking it on a shelf at a level with my face, pressing the shutter button and then backing up into position was all it took.

I haven’t had time to work on those pictures yet, but look forward to it. I suspect most will be deleted as experimental. I tried out lighting, positioning, different smiles, Now to learn from all that.

I’ve finished the articles and short story sections in my Sharing Library on the Ruthes-SecretRoses.com site, but realized that I’d forgotten about the media section. I’ll need to tackle that next, and maybe make some original greeting cards for my cards division, and last will be the revamping of my Resources or R/ department into a new Gifts and Resources Shopping area.

Two other sites just need a new sitemap, and I’m going to look into the one by Google.

However, I’m shopping around for a new host for all the sites I look after. It appears that server space is going cheaper and cheaper. But finding a host with excellent Support services is the most important factor now. I narrowed down my research to about one or two yesterday, and want to ask some questions today and maybe tomorrow, and get a taste of the attitude and helpfulness of their staff.

One of my sites, and another I look after are due for renewal this month and if I’m going to make a move I want to make it before then so I don’t end up paying twice. Of course, I have to trust the Lord to provide funds for a year’s worth of hosting in advance, so this is an exercise in faith too.
