That is a great site and they have honest fair shipping prices.  Thanks for finding that for me/us.

A person could spend a bunch of money on that site.

James (or anyone else with experience with inlace) what kit and/or add ons have you found to be a good all around basic way to start?

dang I get an error message that the current adobe acrobat reader cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser.  I'm just trying to download.  I have the current adobe reader too.

I tried it using IE and it worked fine, must be some setting in firefox.

Thanks for a really kewl dragon.

download does not work perhaps you can post the pattern here for us to capture?

Is the fella in the sinking rowboat pattern available anywhere?

I wasn't trying to get an apology, you certainly do not need to apologize to me.  I'm nobody.  Just stated my thoughts.  You do your thing.  It is Steve's site and he can choose to do what he wishes.  We all have the ability to choose to stay or leave.

Richard thanks It would not accept my log in I think I was booted during all the turmoil for inactivity.  They did not know & did not ask..I was going through cancer treatment and was only participating on a few sites and minimally at that.

and it says not accepting new members.  Oh well...This is a great site as are the others I belong too. Leaves me more time for these and making sawdust.

Merlin have you tried babblefish?  Perhaps a google for chinese translation.

Here is what I found.  In Simplified (that is what they called it)

双shotz咖啡馆  obviously no word in chines for shotz...<wink>

here it is in traditional

雙重shotz咖啡館

Not that my ideas are worth a hill of beans here I'm just one of the guys/gals.  But I for one would like it very much if we can keep the commercialism off the site. id I'd really prefer not to open posts just to find someone trying to sell me something.

This is a great forum so far for information sharing and camaraderie there has been no flaming or bad mouthing & no sales pressure..lets keep it that way, please.

just my 2 cents....for what it's worth.

I generally have to close down orders about Thanksgiving for  Christmas because I can't get them all done in time.  January to May is pretty slow except for special occasions/holidays.    If you decide to do a website.  Be prepared for a slow start and then you may get 10-12 orders in one day.

You will have a lot to learn to drive people to your site.  You will have to learn how to price shipping so you can stay competitive and fair.  But it is very rewarding, especially that first sale and satisfied customer.  It took me almost 4 months to get my first sale from my site.  In the interim I sold on several online auction sites.

I wish you the best of luck.

are they taking members again?  I was a member over there for years back when it was a msn site.  After the move I was never able to log in again.

They have a show once every couple of years in Portland but still quite a ways to travel for both of us.
