Ugh... I've got to find a new host for Knight Scents. Their servers keep having timeouts and other junk. Today, while I was working on the site, they even lost one of my HTML files. Fortunately, I've been working with computers long enough to be prepared for this kind of thing, and I had a backup on my notebook computer. If by any chance anyone reading this is looking for free (or cheap) web hosting, please make a note to yourself that Doteasy is definitely to be avoided. If you go with their basic page, they're free, but you get what you pay for. I've had all kinds of trouble with them and am going to be moving the site to another host once I work up the EF to deal with the hassle (moving a domain is a drag).
Anyway. I went thru the images folder and renamed all the images to a standard naming convention. I then replaced some of the images with some newer, better images that Moggy very kindly made for me -- the new images for the medium jars and small jars look much better than the ones we had before, for various reasons. I don't know what I'd do without all her help on the graphics. Actually, yes, I do. I'd be buying "teach yourself PhotoShop" books on Amazon, then watching them sit unread gathering dust on my bookshelf. :-)
I have one more photograph to put up, which is a "group photo" of four different candles (one of each size). That's going to go on the "Welcome" page. I also got a few new fragrances in a couple of days ago, and those need to go up for sale as well. I'm hoping to get both of those projects done tonight. Once they're finished, that will be it for the short term projects. The next items on the agenda are to start offering those round tin container candles, and also to reorganize the fragrances so that they're in categories and have scent descriptions. I'd like to get those two things done within the next couple of weeks or so.
