Hail Clouds And A Knock Up Online Store

Bit of a flyer. I've been working full pelt tonight, got a lot of stuff on that's keeping my old noggin' firing. I'm playing with this great new script that allows you to quickly and easily put together an Ebay powered store. The scripts called Build A Niche Site - and in less than 30 minutes I was able to get this basic site up and running - Commercial Art.

That time included a quick 5 minutes in AdWords and it's up and running in Google hopefully to send me some highly targeted customers after cheap art - eventually (with some refining). A nice piece of software - what's more, you can implement it into existing sites. I have some great ideas for what I want to do with it. The art one was a one-off spur of the moment test. We'll see how it goes.

Bit of a funny day today, what lots of hail showers. Went to the shop earlier, the light was lovely and the clouds big and interesting. Took a few snaps of the local houses between here and there - nice contrasty light on terraces, an old favourite of mine. Enjoy. :)

Gareth Morlais said...: Glad all's going so well there in Tenby Dave. Commercial Art is a nice looking site. Isn't there another a way of embedding a syndicated feed of an ebay subject-specific search result? If so, what's the benefit of using Build A Niche Site software? Also, is this a way of generating income beyond the Google ad clickthroughs? (Commission on ebay sales?) As you can tell by my questions, this is an area I'm not too familiar with. Gareth; 3:57 PM
Dio Bach said...: Hey Elise! Plenty more to come, hopefully - got to get a new camera very soon, this 'uns on its last legs. Sounds like your back in your painting groove as well. :)

Hey Gareth! Hope life's good for you and the family are OK, aunty as mad as ever? I'll actually set up a new post to cover what you've asked, as there'll be some stuff worthy of a post rather than just being a long rambling comment!; 10:05 PM
Gareth Morlais said...: Thanks for the long post Dave. I'll attach a thanx comment to that posting now. We've just bought two Nikon D50s for Digital Storytelling workshops and they take ace photos. Much warmer and crisper than the old Fuji Finepixes. Family fine thanks; we just enjoyed a sunny week in New Quay. I love Ellis's comment about Caldey Island by the way and so has everyone I've told here. Best wishes, Gareth; 8:51 AM
