AD: A new look for Black Swamp Glassworks

[Tink]

I've been working on my website (it's not live yet, so don't waste your time
by looking) and wanted to reflect my new look in my eBay Auctions. I'd love
to know what you think. There's only one auction up right now, though of
course my eBay Store has some things in it.

Not trying to drum up business here, just want some input on my new look...

http://tinyurl.com/gubu

I felt my auctions and store listings needed a facelift after eBay's layout
change anyway, so this seemed like as good a time as any to work on it.

Oh, and for those of you who follow my auctions, I'm no longer using "Tink"
in the titles: It's BSG for Black Swamp Glassworks. As I sell more and more
of my work, I realize that I need to find a style that not only pleases me,
but that fits well with the direction in which I want my work to go. I've
been dealing with a number of upscale galleries and musems lately, and feel
that it's time to "grow up" my business persona a bit.

So what do you think? Thanks for taking the time to look...

Hi,
Wow, love the new look! I love the font faces you used - but I am a font
slut. lol

Good luck with the new site!

Best,
Deborah

[Tink]

*chuckle* Yeah. I always say I'm a font ho'. LOL! Glad you like the look!
I'm eager to get the website changed to my satisfaction, too. I like working
on my site, but not as much as I used to. These days, it's just one more
thing that takes away from torch time.

Did you guys know that I had one of the first websites with pictures on it?
How old does that make ME???? In an internet-sense, I mean.

LOL! Yeah... I thought I needed something "swampier". More swampy?

Speaking of pirates, we're going all out this Halloween as far as decorating
the house and such. This is a tight-knit neighborhood, and the children do
still trick or treat, but at specific homes I hear. So the plan so far is to
get Macy a pirate costume:

....and to dress Prairieson up as a parrot.

We need to get out more.

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making
exciting discoveries. ~ A. A. Milne

[Tink]

I wonder why the middle image isn't showing up for you... Hmmm....

I think the third-person perspective is just a carryover from how I marketed
my work in another medium. It was kind of the standard. I'll be interested
to see what others think of the way it reads. I think that, all told, it's
pretty clear that I'm the maker and the seller.

I've found over the years that putting all my text in image form is the only
way I can be sure my formatting will stay the way I envision it, no matter
what kind of system or monitor someone is using to view it. It also allows
me to use exactly the fonts I want. And I DO so love fonts :-)

I added up the image sizes, and ALL four of them together total about 50K.
That's purty durn small :) If anyone has problems loading the page, please
let me know.

So you don't think the design is TOO subtle? I crave simplicity right now,
so I'm not in a position to decide. LOL!

Oh, and a big question I wanted to ask is this: Do you think that with
eBay's new format that it was ok that I didn't embed an additional copy of
the picture of the earrings in my listing? It seemed strange not to do it,
but it really seemed to me that it would be overkill. I don't think it's
needed. What do you guys think?

Thanks Kandice! I love your input!!!!

Good point, Kandice. I too like the bead creator to say (in essense) this
is what I did and I'm proud of it. There are resellers out there selling
what they import or parts of big lots they don't want, and you don't want to
be confused by them. Also people like Beaddolls who resell after a full
markup.

I took your advice and changed some things on my layout. I think I've got
everything covered. I made some graphic changes that I hope are pleasing and
not distracting.

I prefer a picture of the item right next to the description so I can see
the features the seller is talking about without having to scroll to the pic
then back to the text and find my place, etc. I don't think it's overkill as
the pic at the top is only a thumbnail and I like a full size pic right next
to the description.

Don't get a Siberian husky. No slobbery love there! They're more like cats in

Hehehe - when we do get a dog, it will likely be some sort of lab. I had

>How so??? How is a Siberian Husky like a cat?

Everything I say below pertains to the dogs I've raised over the past 30 years,
and not the high-strung, over-bred Siberians some dogs are.

They are aloof and don't particularly care if you pet them or not. Unless they
decide to be petted. In fact, some don't like being petted, period (like
Mercury). Most people hate this and think they're impolite dogs. I realize
cats love to be petted -- but it's always on their terms, isn't it?

They are very difficult to train (though being dogs, you *can* train them).
They usually do quite well in class, but then you go home. Then they decide
that they want to do what they want to do, and unless you give them that
dried-liver treat, they ain't doing squat! See ya later.

They are independent to a fault.

They are extremely clean, and do not have any doggy odor.

They like to roam, and if let off-leash, they will go where they want, and may
not come back. There's more, but I forget it now. They are very catlike, and
very wolflike, and not at all doglike (if doglike is akin to a golden
retriever).

I can't remember who was talking about her Queensland heeler. Said she did
so well in school, and learned to respect her collar. All this time I'm
thinking about our Stella, going, yup, mm hmm; and I bet she knows the
difference in weight of the collar, and all those boundaries just disappear
when she puts on her regular collar. And sure enough. There it was in the
next sentence.

So how are you doing down south?

And do you bead weave, lampwork, string or what? Can't tell much from your
post or addie.

Definetly sounds like a cat. I've got one cat who wants to be petted all the
time and the other one, well, when she wants you to pet her, she'll let you
know. My dog Chelsea was a bit aloof, maybe reserved is a better word for her.
She was part chow and part I don't know what but was very good natured.
