Afternoon men, hope you are all enjoying a fine weekend. We’ve been hit with some Winter Wonderfulness around my place with plenty of the white stuff and a shot of cold . . . I for one am SO ready for Spring!
Well you have probably noticed a few changes to the site, nothing really major as far as functionality but I would like to acknowledge that Mike over at SquarePeg Systems (otherwise known to us as “Web Dude”) has really come through again! Mike helped us through a botched upgrade attempt (let the record show that I was the one who botched it – a computer genius I ain’t!) and got us “squared” away. Mike does excellent work, is helpful, friendly and always patient with what I am sure seem like stupid questions from Russ and I. He’s also Bi-lingual!! meaning he speaks both Computeresse and English! (a big plus for us!) Mike is also very fair and honest in his pricing and Russ and I have always felt that we received an excellent return for our money. Dudesndivorce highly recommends SquarePeg Systems for any computer related issues you might be having – we have a link up but I’ll put it here as well . . . http://squarepegsystems.com/ Just ask for the Web Dude! ~:?) (Thanks Mike!)
You’ll also notice a couple new conveniences we’ve added to the site. At the very top of the this section (right below the header) you’ll find we’ve added a Google Search bar. Thought that might be helpful if you read something here you’d like to get more information on or have a desire to look something up while checking out our site. The results page will open up in a new window so you don’t have to stray too far from our site as you chase down a particular thought or side interest. Hope you find it helpful.
We’ve also added “The Dudes Recommend” carousel at the top of the sidebar – this will change from time to time as Russ and I find new things to recommend to our readers. We’ll try to keep a good mix on there of helpful books (a good one on there right now about helping your kids out after a divorce), movies and fun stuff (Man Cave Sign – checkitout! ~:?) There is also an Amazon Search Box right under that Carousel to help you out if you’re looking for something in particular to purchase from Amazon.
To be honest – yes – we make a little money off of these (“LITTLE” being the operative word here! just a few pennys per purchase) our hope is just to recoup some of the costs associated with producing this site for everyone. We understand that divorced men are usually living on a tight budget so we don’t want anyone to buy anything they don’t need or can’t afford. But if there is something you plan on buying anyway it won’t cost you any more to go through our links to do so and it WILL help us cover some of the expenses here. Also – if you’d prefer – there is a pay pal donate button in the sidebar now as well. Again we know funds are tight for divorced men but if you enjoy this site and would like to send a dollar or two our way we sure would appreciate it. We’re not looking to get rich – just cover some of our costs; Thanks for thinking of us.
In other news . . . SUPERBOWL is almost here! Colts vs Saints! Might be a real good game eh?
I think I’ll plan on posting some recipes for SuperBowl snack food in the next day or two – food being one of the most important parts of a good Superbowl experience!
Until then enjoy the new additions to our site and of course, as always,
Be Well
Bill
To be honest, it wasn’t Bill’s fault. What was happening was kinda weird and the cause was something I would have never figured out on my own, but it turned out to be relatively simple. I wouldn’t have figured it out without a few Google searches.
We also learned the value of backups (didn’t we, Bill)? No one ever complained about too many backups!
Yes – back-ups good! no back-ups . . . baaaaad! LOL! ~:?)
‘preciate the help Web Dude!
Be-Well!
