I hope everyone had a blessed holiday season and ready to rock and roll in 2009.
It’s been a while since I posted here, my apologies. Inundated with getting some things done at years end and then I took a week off and visited my son in Savannah, Georgia. It was a needed break, not only from the cold weather but my mind had time to clear and I think I will be able to focus better on the new year.
As Charles has mentioned several times, a wonderful man in Colorado, one of our woodworking family members has found the time to re-work our website, including a video player that is all ours….we expect this to be live by the end of January. It’s looking really good and we are excited about the whole thing.
We do want to make the site look and work the best that we can for you, the end user so I have a couple of questions for you.
1. What do you think would make the site easier to use? and is there something you would like to see added?
2. What resolution and browser do you use? This is important feedback because we want to gear the site to the most popular used resolution.
We have also added a site map and you will be able to search the site by keyword, daily quote, weekly contest, daily video will change automatically so if I’m not available it will still update! Hooray!
The days off clearing my head has given me a lot of focus on how we can make sharing our information better. I have really studied the video editing software and think that I have a better handle on making our videos flow better. #1 – Menus will be provided on all videos!
If 2009 allows, we are going to try to do re-makes of our earlier videos improving the quality – visual and audio. If and when we get to this, all of you who have the original versions may get the updated version when available with no charge except for shipping the disc. We’ll let you know as this happens.
Charles and I don’t operate really well with a set schedule or time-line as sometimes things go quicker, more often longer, but we have taken time to sit down and decide priorities and the order we want to do things in the coming year.
That’s about it for now. Let’s all have a Happy New Year!

Think about your own forum software, the one your using is aggravating slow at times or won’t load (can’t find server) I understand its free but you have to pay money to keep the free and questionable advertising off. With your own forum add your advertising and sponsors?
Take a look at your “stat” counter software. It should have the browser and resolution data your seeking?
How about a live Charles Neil cam!
How about a Mikega dirty shop contest?

Hey Ace this is one contest I know I could win!
Maybe you could come and clean the winners shop as a grand prize
Hi Sherri
Here are 2 things I would like to see on the new site.
First I would like to be able to download the videos so I can save them on my computer.
Second I would like to see a section where people can just post pictures of their work and it would show up like an album that you could flip through.
For your second question I use Explorer as my browser viewing at 1280 x 1024
I’m using Firefox at 1280 x 1024
Hi ho Sherry
yep live webcam is nice and maybe a chat if the time permits i use firefox 3 and my resolution is 1280 x1024
Hi Sherri
I agree with Mike that it would be nice to have a viewer’s gallery.
I use Explorer as my browser viewing at 1280 x 800 on a 22″ monitor.
