Hey everyone! Before I post my question, I would like to introduce myself. My names Jason and from Greenville, Oh. I entertained the thought of owning chickens late last year. When I told my wife about my plans she basically rolled her eyes at me (
), but came short of saying yea or nay. I knew I would have to warm her up to the idea. So, I ordered a catalog from Meyer hatchery in Polk Ohio. I was extremely excited when I got it in the mail and I knew the only way I could get my wife to agree is to show her the baby chicks.
(evil grin) I sat her down with the catalog and we went looked at the different breeds of chicks. Of course she fell in love with the silkies and was amazed by the different breeds. I even went online to search pictures of baby chicks and went on BYC to show how people raise their chickens.
Of course within minutes, she fell in love with the idea of owning chickens and began to talk like it was her idea in the first place! haha! So we ordered our 5 buff orpingtons and scheduled them to be picked up on 4/12/11. The day after we picked up the chicks, we were suppose to visit her family in South Carolina. We weren't sure what to do with the chicks, but my clever idea was to bring them along. So we put my car heating pad in bottom of a small box, lined straw on top of the heating pad, and they sat in my wife's lap during the whole trip. Surprisingly, there was enough heat to keep the chicks warm during the drive to SC and they were unbelievably content.
Now, they're going on close 2 months old living in their coop. It's been such a blast raising the chicks. We visit them everyday and let them free-range while we're with them. We have been talking about buying more chicks, but that may need to wait until late summer. I'll post pictures of the coop and chicks later today.
------Now onto my question about web-development.
In today's standards of web-development, my skills and knowledge are completely outdated. Everything I know about html coding applies to standards of the 90s and early 00s. I tried to learn today's language, but it is so complex to learn and makes it hard for me to shake away from the old habits and knowledge of web-developing. I used to do affiliate marketing and did very well back in the day. Lately, It has been hard for me to build a decent, modern website that is functional and also appealing. I lack the creativity for advanced graphic arts of a website. I am only capable of making simple designs and lines. And when it comes to using css and other coding, i'm completely clueless. i don't know what programs that will assist building a website using the latest coding. I am willing to learn, however i almost would rather have someone build one and I can maintain it. If anyone can suggest a program that will easily build a website or possibly have a template or can create one, i will definitely be interested. The current site that i have and still being updated is http://www.freeiquote.com some of you may already seen an ad on byc. i bought advertising space and i hope to continue support byc. Thank you to anyone who offers help, tips, or just a warm hello!
