BUMGENIUS Buy one get one free WOW

Well this is quite exciting, for 2 reasons
1: I've never had the chance to do a BOGOFF thing before, and
2: It's an amazing opportunity for anyone interested in getting these nappies at an incredible price!

Everyone knows how these deals work, you have to get 2 of them in order to qualify. It doesn't exactly mean they are half price, but that is essentially what it amounts to- if you buy 2 :)

So, if you were unsure about them, or put off by the full price then now's the time to give them a go!

BTW if you are fast off the mark and there's no sale buttons anywhere then it just means that I haven't finished them yet. So either drop me a line and I can send you a special invoice, or visit again in a few hours!

Dundee Baby Fair 2008

The Dundee Real Nappy Network has decided to host a Baby Fair on 19/01/08 . We are in the process of inviting exhibitors, doing the advertising and making up a website.

I've taken on the task of doing the website, and have also chosen to use one of these template packages to do it. It's not too bad, actually, you can edit quite a lot of them. I thought the point of them was that they were quick and easy, and all you have to do is put in the data, but finding the perfect template isn't easy! To be fair it's not that difficult to get something online quickly so I'll just have to come here and whinge it it gets too annoying.

The thing I'm annoyed about at the moment was that the best template I could find has pyramids in the banner. Pyramids! What's the connection there? None, it was the closest I could get to abstract but now I'm going to have to get rid of the pyramids somehow... You can check out how successful I am at http://www.dundeebabyfair.co.uk

Daft on Nappies is finally here!

As it turned out attaching Daft On Nappies to the Bonnie Babies website was an easy process. All I had to do was type "webtapestry" into the box and in 24 hours it should be done! The annoying thing (and there must always be an annoying thing, apparently) is that it costs £10 for web tapestry to do the attaching, whilst heart internet don't charge to let it go. "Free transfers" is a bit of a BIG FAT RED HERRING. Yes, it's free, but only on one end. I don't know if everyone charges for this but I'm assuming its a standard thing. If anyone knows different then please let me know.

I had asked for all the relevant information from all parties and at no point was I told I'd have to pay anything for this. So there's the lesson for today, you may think your saving a couple of quid by going to "A" for a domain registration, but if you don't want them to host it then make sure you ask the right questions- of everyone.

Name change

Imagine me, the night before the Baby Show in the SECC, all excited and nervous having just set up the stall. I then get a phone call from another business with a very similar name who has had customers contact her about the Baby Show in the SECC, looking forward to seeing her there... Obviously she was a bit surprised as she had no intention of going, but quickly found out that they thought I was her... if you understand...
She was concerned about this, naturally, even though we sell different things customer confusion is no good for either of us. And as she actually owns the trademark the onus was on me to find a new name!
So, after a lot of humming and haaing I finally settled on Daft On Nappies. As well as insinuating a certain light hearted obsession, daft also stands for Dundee, Angus, Fife and Tayside... clever, eh? I can see you all now, nodding your head in appreciation of my cleverness :)
Ah well, I think it's ok, and since I've been putting things off until I came up with a new name (there was no point in promoting a name that I was going to loose any minute, after all) the nappy selling has kinda ground to a halt, which has been painful in the financial district.
I still own bonnie-babies.com though, and I'll have both names directed to the same website until bonnie-babies.com runs out.
The only problem now is that I need Heart Internet to let me transfer daftonnappies.co.uk to Web Tapestry as they host my website, but they haven't replied to my inquiry for a couple of weeks now, grrrrr.

I can slice!

I have decided to revamp the bonnie-babies.com website. In fact I've decided to rename it DAFTonNappies.co.uk and change the website, since I don't like to do anything in small measures :)

I had to change the name, actually, but more on that another time.

So I've been trying to come up with a slightly more sophisticated website that is still easy to navigate for everyone. One thing I have just learned is how to slice images up so bits of them can be used as different links. In the past if I wanted an image to be linked the whole image had to be one big link to one place... but no more!

I'm a genius, but more on that later too... I've got to buzz off and pick up J from nursery school.

:P
