It’s been a while since I posted anything relevant to anything else.. I blame real life.. And these 70 hour work weeks..

I got the Bangles and Brides pligg front end installed and working finally.. Launched it Friday I think.. It’s all a blur.. BaB has been growing slowly and steadily and I really think that allowing our community to submit news stories is a great idea.. Technically they could before, but it wasn’t as easy to do.. Plus I was the only one that could see the submissions.. The new pligg interface is very digg like and it looks to be a good thing for the site..

Also launched the generic store over at Images Jewelers (osCommerce) to compliment the custom jewelry site over at ImagesOnTheWeb.Net. The site is already selling and starting to rank well for a few easy to grab design lines.. I’ll be working on that for the rest of the year at least.. Thankfully we finally got some help doing all the data entry to get the product listed..

I’ve also been registering random domains with cool names lately.. Not sure when I’ll have time to work on these.. But I need to get the new deep link directory up and running soon.. We’ll probably do the first 100 links for free or something.. At least until we get some decent weight to toss around.. By then we will probably be near Christmas and the jewelry thing will be eating up all my time again.. Maybe I’ll get than new portal launched next year.. gem-carvers.com is a great name for a gemology / gem carver site
