Still at it Monday, Jan 19 2009

I never realized how much went into building a web site. It seems like there is a never ending amount of hosts out there that want the privelege of hosting your web site with all the latest bells and whistles, then after they tell you what they offer that no one else has, they smack you with the bottom line, anywhere from $150.00 and up per year, smack me in the wallet, when you ask for their tech support, Oh my do the tap dancing start. I have percerviered though the treck was trecherous, I’ve narrowed it down to two.

Nobody ever explained Ftp’s, Zen carts, osCommerce, marketing accounts, IRS involvment, and all the other things that go into setting up a eCommerce site, but I am getting there. Hopefully by the end of the month I be ready to launch, God willing and the creek don’t rise.

The site is designed to provide a service and support for those who need this type of help, it is my dream to reach as many as possible in order to assist them.

I have built some pretty good content for the site and I hope to continue to do it.

Well it’s time for me to get back to work on the site, so until next time, keep the Faith.

Help when Help is needed. Thursday, Jan 8 2009

A part of life that has been around as long as man has been around.

Not to often discussed in open conversation due to the very personal nature of the problem, yet is at the forefront of man’s inhumanity to himself.

This is a new posting for me, it will be part of a website I am presently building that deals with the problem of addiction as experienced by one who is himself in recovery. There will be referrals back to my experience with recovery in both the  persona of the person in recovery and  of a provider of the services of recovery. The focal point of the posting is to maybe help someone who is currently under duress due to the problems of addiction and the problems associated with addiction.

There will also be postings as to the different types of treatment for the problems of addiction, support and follow-up for families of addicts, and educational materials about addiction in it’s various forms. There will be links to the website being built that will have much more information.

This communique will be a portal to reports, eBooks, articles and anecdotal information. I will  attempt to keep it as lighthearted as possible, but be forewarned, there will be times when lightheartedness is forgone due to the nature of what is being discussed. Please remember that addiction in any form is extremely serious and can be life threatening.

As this is a public posting, I invite your comments and concerns. I feel that through discussion and learning we grow in maturity and understanding. I will be posting to this site as often as possible while I am still building the website, and then more regularly after the site is up and running
