I spent the day working on a mainstream site..
 

what a long day it was today.. dealing with a death in the family today, and spent the whole night working on a mainstream site,,

It feels rewarding sometimes.. I get all excited at the beginning of a new project & it's so wonderful seeing all the pieces when they finally come together.. that entire creative process is what keeps me going.. ok, well the money does too, but I'm sure some of you know what I mean,,
So, I can look forward to tweaking & tweaking til it's perfect.. it's going to be my new baby, lol.. people always say to do a topic you enjoy, stick with what you know, & so, they're right, because the whole time putting this together, I've been nothing but excited..


Now on to the difficult part.. traffic & users :)

Whats the URL?

Post it....im interested...

I was Born In Salem. That is your location is it not?

http://www.antiqueweapons.org

far from finished, but functional :)

West Coast USA should be on top on the forum

that's how we do it on the west sideeee

It looks nice, and I think you'll do well with it. What auction script are you using?

php auction

doing sites around what you know and love is always the best. My most profitable (and enjoyable) sites are on topics I love. I've dropped two solid weeks of work into my latest mainstream project and it's taken off quicker than I've had time to tweak it. Not enough time to setup a test server so I'm sure a few people have seen my errors as I modify code on a live site. But it's so rewarding to start coding from scratch, and then look back at a site down the road and go "This was just an idea at one point"

I'm working on more things to add to it,, been playing with my guns all day & reading my gun books :1orglaugh & googling alot to plan my SEO & well, I browsed alot of dealers websites & damn there's alot of nice fucking guns out there :) & I gotta find some beta testers.,, gonna hit up some of the collectors boards & snatch a few members :)

Looks nice SD. Definitely sticking with your passions makes everything smoother and makes it easier to make money.

looks great spacedog, sorry to hear about the family loss by the way, build postive things like that website on it

I reread your post 3 times. and still i don't understand what was about the death in your familly?

it was about it being a long day.... somebody died, so I didn't work much during the day, & ended up working all night,

oh!~ i am sorry.

Spacedog: sad to hear that. It's hard to work with stuff on your mind, isn't it?

But... since this is related to mainstream: see sig ;)

I know what You are talking...I love creating new and new projects again and again...

ill be making a mainstream site too, gonna try something...

I like that one, we use it on a gaming site, but we had some trouble with image uploads with the free version. Is that fixed in the paid version? I want to upgrade or change scripts.

Is it possible you may have forgotten to chmod the directory for upload?

Hit me up on icq we can chat

obviously, you love what you're doing..
oftentimes, it's the passion that keeps us going.
congrats! :thumbsup

u gotta love the hustle. i do
