Well... I have been 'putzing' with my photography website since Saturday. I was getting so frustrated I had to call my hubby to come get our son. My hubby was putting in our volunteer hours for hockey up at the ice arena, and was scheduled to be there much of the day. My son was plain BORED. Therefore he was driving me CRAZY. "hey Mom, can I go play at the neighbor's?, Hey mom can I build a fort?, Hey mom if I help clean will you give me money?" I admit, my son got my trait & has the GIFT OF GAB... I literally wanted to put ear plugs in he was asking so many questions. So finally he had a temper-tantrum when the neighbor boys were not home to hang out with & I called my hubby to come get him. They both hung out at the arena & had a blast. (Thank-you God, and Spencer!-lol)
So anyway, still dinking around with my website... and I was thinking hummm--- should I cave in & add music to my site? When THEN, I spoke to a friend of mine...!!! He was able to attend a "Bridal Panel" put on by the Central MN Wedding Association last year where, from what I understand, they asked several brides to come in & answer questions to help wedding professionals with feedback from actual brides. Anyway the thing they said is NO MUSIC on websites! A HUGE percentage of brides are checking websites & doing planning while AT WORK when not suppose to be, therefore websites that have music, they immediately click off of those websites that contain music, so they do not get 'caught' doing their wedding planning while at work. This SOOOO Makes sense to me! I have N-E-V-E-R been a fan of music on websites. If I want to hear music online, I will go to Pandora, Lymewire or YouTube. I despise music on websites. As I am in the same boat I am dinking around while at work (shh) or late at night when kiddos are sleeping... and I forget I have my speakers cranked because I was listening to PINK earlier, and I click on a website... and BOOM! Super LOUD annoying music on a site I am checking out. I try not to use the word HATE, but I do HATE that.
So there done, decision made... NO MUSIC will go on my site. I did find out how to change some things for my site... that I will try shortly to see if what they tell me is true.
So... we had today as the very last day to sign up to be a part of the showcase, and we had 2 vendors sign up! So Jeremy tells me we are at about MAX capacity for room for keeping it all in one room, and not splitting it & having it in two different rooms. So I am SUPER excited that we have all these exhibitors! Many returning from previous showcases, and many brand new! And of course we have our handful of very loyal participants who have been with me since day one! Thank-you to those of you! You know who you are :) Have a good rest of the week as Jeremy & I try to help each other from stressing out over all the last minute details. Hope to see you at the 5th Annual Buffalo Area Wedding Showcase this coming Sunday, Feb 20th starting at 10:30am.
