“The RoseBouquet”

On Ruthes-SecretRoses.com I’m still spending an hour every afternoon, opening one page after another and fixing and improving certain spots, and making sure my new photo is in place. This week I’m wading through the Arbour pages.

I thought I had that all done on the BouquetofEnterprises.biz site, but in making the Google-compatible sitemap, I have to check each page for it’s title meta tag, so while I’m doing that, I’m adding a line for an includes file, which updates my photo and the navigational links on each page. Sometimes I catch errors I missed the previous go-through. There are only about 100 pages on this site, so it is going faster.

By the way, I choose a different photo for that site. It will do for now. But putting it into an “includes” file is quite clever, I think. When I want to make a change, I only need to change it in that file, and upload it, and then all the other pages will show the change immediately.

I’m afraid my genealogy site, AGodlyInheritance.com is seriously neglected this summer. I had hoped to finish the desktop publishing (formating) of my newly revised “Grandpa’s Stories” book by or in June. I’m still at it! I found that I have to type up the charts on the divider pages instead of just photocopying them. Hopefully not too much longer, and then that will be behind me. the AGI site needs a quick overhaul to change my photo there too, and then I have other books I’ve promised to produce in that weekend time slot.

As for work on my clients’ sites… I snitch hours from other parts of my weekly routine to fit them in, hoping that in due time, each project will finish and I can get back to my novel, and other things.

You’ll see in the next section that I found solutions to a problem with stuck-on labels, on the net. It got me thinking about writing short articles on tips and solutions you know already. Then I realized, - I’ve already written that article! Now to just make time to do it regularly.
