Water for Birds
I put up a “Bird Bath” near the end of summer. It is really just one of the glazed trays for putting under a flower pot hung in a macrame hanger. Until today, I have never seen a bird use it, but just now I saw a house finch sit on the edge and drink from it. He took three drinks and then sped off. So now I am well chuffed, as they say in England.
Small birds are always so skittinsh and no wonder… they are, after all, “prey.”
My feeder hangs on the porch in a place where I can easily see it either from the sofa or when sitting at the computer.
I’ve been sitting at the computer a lot lately, working on my websites. This new eBay plugin from phpPro is really cool and it’s got me excited about creating humdreds of niche sites. But I’m commited to creating quality sites with lots of good content and that takes time. Makeup-Discounters.com is about making me lose my mind what with all the repetitive making of pages. It’s at 35 pages so far and I think this interation is going to top out at around 40 pages. Once I have all the pages made, then all I have to do is fix the navigation and rework the widgets and it will be ready for action. I’m going to try a small Adwords campaign and see if I can generate some traffic and money. If that goes well, then I will build out the site to include other brands of makeup. It’s all about Stila right now, but I know that Philosophy also has some keywords of opportunity. I’d love to break in to the makeup market because it is huge.
Off to San Diego this afternoon to see Chris and hang out.
