Personal Tales is finally up and running in its totality, with some minor stuff to be done, like linking the Flash headers to the home page, and getting the index names changed to what they really are. I'm going to work on a newsletter and attach a blog, and do some other stuff cosmetically...I've moderately advertised on Google, and in a little bit, I'll advertise again locally.

I'm really proud of the site. It was a lot of work and a huge learning curve was tackled by me.

I'd appreciate if you'd let me know if anything's broken for you, or if you think something is sucky.

So, yeah...I'm placing ads in the local papers for this, starting Monday: PersonalTales, a personal and family historian business I'm starting. I've been made perhaps permanently brain-damaged by just working the CSS for the site, so I hope people wanna hire a retard.

See, I'm fascinated by people's stories and from what I've gathered in my research (which has been extensive), there's a big call for baby-boomers to tell their parents' stories, as they age and that information might be lost forever. Also, since I've been doing scrapbooks and collages and writing my *own* bio for roughly forever, it seemed like something that I could fit into rather easily. And I have.

So, if you all could be my beta site testers and tell me a) if there're questions that I'm not answering well enough, b) layout difficulties, c) design ideas, d) HOLY SHIT! is that what you'd charge...whatever you notice.

Please keep in mind that:

• the Home page and Flash headers with "Personal Tales" is not the logo yet...that's still under development
• I don't have all the links under "Helpful Links & Tips..." up yet
• I don't have the "About Us..." done at all yet
• I still need to put up examples of work and sample interviews (from my folks) :). That's tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks, you guys.
