Hey!!!! We have a website!!! Have a look. It's pretty much just a shell to start with, but atleast now you
can see we're not totally nuts. The link is on the right side of the screen. Now that we've made it this far,
we should get back more often to update this blog. The site has been built using a free host, so unfortunately
you will have to put up with the adds until we raise the cash to move to our paid host. As we mentioned
earlier, we've paid for that, but need money to renew our domain name.

For those of you who are keeping track of these things, we've been working on this for a little over a month
and so far we haven't spent any money from our $1000 budget. We do have some time involved, but it beats
watching tv.

We've gone with the basic 3 column look (much like the page you are looking at now. It includes a menu on the
left, content in the center and some miscellaneous information on the right. It's done by placing 3 tables
side-by-side. There are those who suggest creating 1 big table and putting other tables inside it, but then
there are others who say that the screen will stay blank until the full table is loaded. We're not gurus
here, so we figured if that is true we would have 3 separate tables. One of these tables is very basic. This
means that something should appear on the screen encouraging our visitors to wait for the full page. Our
goal is to keep the pages simple and allow them to load quickly no matter what kind of connection our
visitors are using.

It's nothing fancy yet,but we're still going through the design stage. We'll update it with some fancier
buttons on the menu and things like that as we go. Right now our goal is to get it operational.

Currently there are only a couple of operational links, but the information is real. Have a look. Have any
suggestions? Feel free to contact us and let us know what you're thinking.

We've haven't gotten anywhere as far as our vendor's license is concerned yet. There's that money thing
again. Since we've changed the focus of the site that is not a high priority at this time. We'll get back
to it shortly. Our plan is to have that done by June so that we can put some products out there and make
some money.
