Been really busy since my last post, too busy in fact to set any goals, but hey, that's one for next time I think.
Not feeling all that positive at the moment, even though things are on the up. I think my work life is taking over a bit much and my success is at the forefront of my mind rather than the things that are really important in my life. Oh well, it's been a weird week that I'd rather forget.
Onto more positive things, I've had a really fun day last week when I re-vamped my .com site, sorry, www.mattcardy.com I had a lot of fun with it, dreaming about cars I want for my own collection and a bit of a self-discovery if I'm honest. Pictures of myself are up there, rather daringly I shall add along with the truth about the side of the car industry most people don't actually see. Interesting stuff.
I've taken it from being a commercial site where I'm selling stuff to being nothing but a site about myself. Like I say, it was fun to do and looks, in my opinion, great.
Other projects on the go at the moment, I just finished building another site which, again is all about selling cars, as I get more enquiries from people wanting to sell their cars rather than buy new cars. Most of these are from people selling lhd cars, so if anyone wants one, get over to www.mattcardy.co.uk , as I have access to loads of them!!!
So there's that site that's all ready to be made live, I need a domain name for it, which I'm going to buy next, so I'll come back and put it up after I sort out all the testing when it goes live.
The site that started all this, that started as an idea about 2-3 years ago and evolved into www.toptenonline.net is about to be written off as a bad job. Te fact is that it was an idea that's been done to death and has disappeared down the toilet of the internet and I was stupid enough to try. The fact is the content of the site isn't up to much and the work involved is just far too much to uphold and keep up-to date. Besides that, it has been described as a banner farm, which I was none too pleased about at first.
After a good look at it, I can see that what it has become in such a short space of time, was a good concept, but in practice it was always going to be a dead duck. So.... we have come up with something totally new and different.
We're working on a new concept for the site and it has a projected launch date of January 1st. You can see the existing monstrosity at www.toptenonline.net for the next few weeks, although I'm going to take it down and put up a holding page very soon with a 'coming soon...' message on it, so it stays in favour with the existing visitors and builds some interest for the first day of 2007...
Anyway, I think that's about it for now, but I'll be back for an update soon, until then, I'm outta here.
