Peter, you could just use a stock photo of a famous model, the way I do.

I was thinking he could catch up to you in the points tally with contributions.

But noooooooo no one is ever going to do that unless you went on vacation for a year!!!

Nah...I`ll just run out of things to say. :-) At some point.

I don`t have a good photo!

It`s true though, I need to take one...

P.S. can we add some more social networking sites to the list? I love hearing about them...especially newer ones!

 

Thanks.

Today I removed my "blog" from my website! I just don`t add new content to it consistently. I don`t have time to research and properly write articles about the environment, world wages and what it takes to employ fairly, in a global economy and all those other unresolved "earth first" issues. It doesn`t matter what my stance is, I want my blog to provide quality content and information. Information people are searching for... they want to learn. They don`t want to hear about "my thoughts" unless I am well educated (high level college degree) on the subject.

So. It`s gone! Now my website is nearly 100% static. It`s an online catalog. That`s really what it was intended to be anyway. It`s not intended to be "your news center" on things earthborn & handmade.

I too believe there is a process to everything. There are instances when static pages fulfill every need of the viewer. It`s all comes down to effectively getting your key differentiator in the mind of the customer within seconds. It`s all about better communication.

These websites offering to make you rich with part time efforts are all being exposed for who they are... it`s not quality communicating because the listener never really gets anything in return for the time & sometimes money, spent.

People are smart... eventually. The old viewers know it`s a trap. They are sharing it with their friends. Eventually, that trap will rarely work. There will be a new trap later... but really... The next generation of website will look similar as today. It will just be easier and faster to communicate through.

I`ve argued in the past that an e-commerce site isn`t all that different from a mail-order business, and those have been around what...100 years?

Mail order catalogs are static, in that they arrive and sit around for a couple of months. They have X amount of stuff. Then another one shows up, different color and design, with "pretty much" the same stuff. However, they usually have a "What`s New?" section up front, or easy to find.

The regularity of the company`s existence, their catalogs, their regular items, and their "image" is static. They only change their content when there`s a good reason to change it.

That seems to have worked quite well in the past, so I don`t see that always-changing "dynamic content" is a better idea.

Yes static websites are worthless but so many small businesses have them. What we have found is instead of trying to convince businesses to redo their websites is to start a business profile and add dynamic content as well as link to the static website. At least they are bringing traffic from the social network which also promotes their static website. OnMyCity.biz is one that does this very well.
