A Day Off to Catch Up

The first thing I'll need to do today, after the basics of grocery shopping, is getting back to working on DH's website. I've get it ready to upload, but the "Publish" command isn't working, and last Friday, I tried later in the day and customer service wasn't answering the phone or the help line. I'm not sure if the basic customer service will be able to help me with this, but that's certainly one of the things I need to get done. 

We decided to use Network Solutions to help develop 
the website, and it's actually quite good, with decent 
customer support. But, I need some more advanced help 
now to get my website uploaded and active, so I may 
have to actually pay for that service to be successful. 

The other thing I need for his website is the photos. He has a page of product photos that he wants to present to a specific potential buyer. I made the page 3-across, in groups of two rows. It looks nice, but I would like the photos to be able to be blown up when clicked on by the customer. The actual dimensions of the photos is large, and right now I'm constraining them into a much smaller format to meet the criteria of the web design. I know a click-through is possible, I just need some solid help on how to accomplish it. 

Getting this small website developed and 
uploaded is taking a ridiculously long amount 
of time. I need this off my plate and active. 

So, I might have to grit my teeth and pay for the next level of support. There's a web development firm that they work with. I originally got an hour of free service from them, and used that to get the initial set-up for the website, and figure out the navigation and different options/drop downs that were usable for my pages. I knew that after that hour, I would be paying in 15-minute increments. It might be time to shell out some $$ and get some quality tech support. 

Of course, it doesn't help that Google Workspace no longer hosts their websites, having sold that division to Square. So everything is convoluted because of the constant shifts in the world of cyberspace, and I have to roll with the punches. 

He planted a lot of tulips and daffodils, along 
with some irises. I'm still expecting one more 
shipment from Holland Bulb Farms, but that may 
end up arriving too late to be planted this 
year. It's hard to say for sure, on that. But we're 
into the latter part of October, and it's not 
unusual to have snow by Halloween. 

DH spent several hours planting bulbs in the garden. He got the whole large box we received earlier in the week from Holland Bulbs in the ground, scattered throughout the four garden areas, and marking each area with tags. It's getting colder now, and he was very sore and quite cold by the time he was finished and getting into a hot shower yesterday afternoon. He tried to take an afternoon nap, but apparently his muscles were in too much pain, and he ended up getting back up after 15-20 minutes. Poor guy. He tends to put himself into "drive" mode and then go as far and as fast as possible, before collapsing from a lack of gas. Silly boy. 

So, I'll have a day off today, and there's plenty on my agenda. I hope all of you have a perfectly wonderful Friday and I'll be back tomorrow for the final day of the work week. Until then, Slava Ukraini and חיים למען ישראל.
