Live blogging the Thanksgiving drive

I’m headed down I-35 somewhere south of Oklahoma City fully wireless and blogging - don’t worry I’m not driving.

But here’s the thought I wanted to share. Two of my daughters are sitting in the back seat plugged into a movie - TranFormers (they’re really too old for that, but that’s another story.) The point is that they both have headsets on and occasionally they erupt into various forms of giggles at something that happened in the movie. It’s kind of sweet to hear these spontaneous giggles, but the odd thing is that they giggle at different times. In other words, what they think is funny is different for them.

I wonder how many people visit our web sites, read our sales copy and listen to our pitches and, effectively, laugh at different parts, and maybe not the parts we thought they would laugh or not at.

Test, test, test everything. It’s a amazing how different the same web page can appear to different people. Know what you want people to do when you make a point, create a web page, write a sales letter and then get some people together to see if they get it. You are probably too close to know what the funny parts are anymore.

By the way, some of the roadkill out here in North Texas looks pretty good for T-day.

Happy Thanksgiving! - I know we have members from all around the world, and its only in the US and I believe Canada that celebrate Thanksgiving, nevertheless, what the heck.

How Quick is That - Just to let you know that as I'm not as sharp as I might be in the ftp sort of world, I had a problem today with uploading a new site. Hostgator 'Live Chat' fixed this for me in two minutes flat and didn't make me feel I was an idiot at all (at least anymore than I felt myself). As I'm in the UK and ringing early am for me here, I thought that 'Live Chat' might have been EST, so off for me, but no, they were there! BTW I'd spelt my nameservers slightly wrong - duh! Now that's what I call service. Regards.
Holiday plans - First... Congratulations Evan! Have fun on your trip, jvprosperity. Everyone here have safe and fun holidays! Second...my family traditions are pretty well set... I'll be visiting my parents for Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I take my mom for drives... first to see the fall colors during Thanksgiving, and then to see the lights and decorations for Christmas... as she likes to see that kind of stuff and my dad prefers to sit at home and watch TV.... However, as a writer, and the owner of a trusty laptop, I'll be working even when I'm visiting..
