You're All Invited To My "Open House!" - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Well, here goes! I've never made a website before so this was a huge learning experience for me. It's been an ongoing project for many months, but I think I'm satisfied. Prior to this, I did not know what .gif files were, SEO, Meta-tags, link anchors, etc.

So if nothing else, I received an education from the whole thing.

Whatcha think?

G'day Shawn,
Great site mate.
Here's one blue that popped out at me.

Finally, the puzzle will be carefully packaged into a sturdy box, which which has no picture on the lid! In the "old days," mass picture printing techniques were either unavailable or very costly. Puzzles were often made, therefore, without an image to guide the assembler. I feel that by carrying this tradition on, not only is history preserved, but the puzzle is made more challenging. Best, however, is the "surprise" one feels when they see their puzzle finally taking shape.

BTW Shawn, I must have got there a bit late cause the keg was empty and the nibbles had all gone soggy

Hi Shawn! Great site! I really enjoyed the layout and easy navigation of it. John complained about the soggy nibbles, but it must not have stopped him from eating them all since all I found were crumbs!

Tell the kids I really enjoyed their pages too. I tried to sign the guest book, but you must have my e-mail blocked! (LOL) It said "invalid address".

Thanks guys, and thanks for the "blue," John. I'm sure I'll find a lot more of those to come. Now I just have to learn how to make edits.

I haven't even tested the Guestbook yet myself, Jerry. I'll have to check it out.

Good morning Shawn! Unless I'm WAY off, I think those are some personal pics from John! No fair being half a day ahead of the rest of us! LOL
