Author's Comments

Linda and some of her girl friends are off to Lake Medina for some girl time and some kayaking.

She will then attend a baby shower in San Antonio for our grandson John Mark-Thomas who will arrive in September. Next, she is off to Lake Jackson, Texas to help her mother recover from a knee replacement.

I am going to be alone for a while and I already wish she were home with me. I am proofing this issue by my lonesome so “cut me some slack”.

Q & A, Suggestions and Comments

Ana is evaluating Site Build It against other web hosts. She and I have had a running email conversation about this comparison. Here is an email in which my answers are embedded after her questions.

eBay Classified Ads Revisited

Last week I wrote about a making an error on a classified ad and then not being able to easily change it.

The initial work around was to add to the description in the form of a postscript (P. S.).

Well, if you use the infinite number of monkeys and infinite number of typewriters theory, you can finally find a way to do it.

Several pictures are included to show you how to change a classified ad.

Other Auction Sites

It is amazing what you learn just cruising around the Net. I was on Eons.com reading posts in some of the groups to which I belong when I came across mention of etsy.com and ecrater.com. Never having heard of them, I checked them out.

Here is what I found

Recent Poll Results

This is short and sweet.

A Harris poll showed that 72% of households
want to start a work-from-home business. An
online business is THE best way to change
their lives.

This is not surprising. This seems to be a major trend in our world. This is why Linda and I write Boomer eZine and why I continue to preach that Site Build It is the way to a successful work-from-home business. Check out this video of Ken Evoy, President of Site Sell, Inc.

I always scan “Site Pro New” for some interesting or informative article. We mentioned Site Pro News in Boomer eZine Volume 2 Issue 4.

Bogdan Badulescu published an article in Site Pro News from his blog.

We have discussed various aspects of Web 2.0, but I felt that this article does a great job of summarizing it for us.
