Some of you have been wondering where I’ve been. It appears I have ruptured a disk in my back. I should be hearing from a Neurosurgeon today. Looks like I won't be able to do anything but have back surgury at this point. It’s affected my entire left side of my body; which is numb. My chiropractor told me he’s never seen a rupture this bad. Just my luck right? I never do anything half mass! :nonono:
For all of you who know me, you know I WILL BE DYING not being able to wheel for a while. Just got my Rock Hard sliders put on too! Tummy tuck and steering box skid are going on Saturday. I’m totally bummed about this, but I will be living vicariously through you all. As soon as I am able, I’ll be back on the trails. This will be just a little set back.
Go on lots of runs and post up pics! I want to see all the fun and silly times you guys are having! I will be there in spirit! Lorie :wavey:
The party is just getting started, trying to continue the momentum today.
Gonna have to read all those stories and add a few of my own lol.
Anyway keep up the good work, if anything it might inspire more women to start out door recreating in the manner that we do :awesome:
Site looks great! Congrats on getting everything up and running. I'm checking out your Advertising page. I'll talk it over with the rest of the team here and see what we want to do. "
Signed....an interesting Aftermarket Jeep Parts Company

How cool would it be to obtain my first sponsor?unk:

I have to say, I'm really disappointed about the whole thing. I don't know how many times I've mentioned to friends that they should become supporting paying members ( and some have) because it's such a great site. I had them on my HOME page on my site as well as My links page as a recommendation to join. No agenda what so ever. Just was really happy here because of you all. This feels like a slap in the face. Pretty upset right now and that's putting it mildly.
I think he spent more time trying to figure out how to do things than he did build the site. I was constantly having to go in and correct things and resend things. He took so much time to do what should have been a pretty common thing in building a site. I'd ask him not to worry about certain things so we could do something else first, and he'd still do what I ask him not to which put what I wanted to do on the back burner..and for weeks b/c he had to figure it out first. I'm so completely exhausted from that guy.
Aren't you exhausted just from reading that? The battle it took for me to get the site online...Jesus..you have no idea. I met with him the first of Oct. He ask me to do this, that, and the other making me think that he was building the site...while the whole time, I had no idea I first needed to pick out a theme..WTH? So 2 months in, he's just now telling me that?? And then, I'm like IDK what the hell a theme is and what's best...then he asks me to resend everything I've already sent thinking he was building the site....OMG..it goes on and on and on...you have no idea. Exhausted.
But now, I need a new guy and I need to find someone who can help me and/or knows how to market it..I feel like a little part of my dream just died b/c now I have no knowledge really of how to go about getting sponsors and putting out media packages etc...
Kind of bummed about it all...but this guy was killing me. Not worth it.
Building a site. I could care less if he wheeled. I think he spent more time trying to figure out how to do things than he did build the site.

Hi, I'm the zombiehuntress. I've been building sites for over 8 years. I totally understand your frustrations. I actually started doing it myself after being taken for a ride by a web guy long ago. It sounds like he was not really focused on the task at hand. I just need to know a few things. It looks like a wordpress platform. I can fancy it up with artwork and graphics if you like the functionality of this site or I can completely rebuild it. Once you have that you need a good social media marketing plan. Word of mouth is the biggest driving force to accomplish your goals. I can work with you on all of it. Do you have a Facebook/Instagram/twitter?
Took a quick look..the sites looks great. There's a lot to be said for good graphics. Looks like my site could be improved. And one of the things he said was his specialty was graphics LOL DAMN!
Here's the thing though. There's no way I can afford another site design.. I'm looking at $600 with him.
BTW, I love those jeans on the one site :happyyes:
LOLO Not really focused on the task at hand!! That's putting it mildly; as I just recently found out he takes some sort of medication. Lord!! I have THE WORST luck!
I do believe he saw the vision as far as the potential I have in accomplishing my dream of quitting my day job and making a living in my Jeep and in the off road industry in one capacity or another..I just think he may be better at something other than web design which involves all these codes and plug ins and whatever else...tech lingo..not for me..
It is Wordpress..I think the site looks ok..there's a couple things I need to finalize I think and then the next major part is the marketing. I'm one of those old school gals...Hate FB, don't want to be on it, but realize I need to, same with twitter etc...and I've gotten to a certain point with Youtube (I'm very challenged when it come to this stuff) I'm the girl that just wants to perform; in my rig, hosting an event, commercials etc etc I'm not the girl who plugs in all the tech crap LOL Geesh Lord
I have PMed someone already that I spoke to a couple weeks ago when I was starting to lose my mind with my web guy. I'd like to speak with him and see what his thoughts are with what my needs are right now. I need to make sure the next person is THE LAST person. I need THE RIGHT person. He may or may not be a fit. I don't know yet, but I will definitely keep you in mind. Thank you
Ahh Richie Rich...I don't know. I'm feeling a little defeated right now. I need to start again with someone new and someone who I hope understands what I really am after ..and then knows how to go about helping me. Maybe my dream gets lost in translation somewhere..I don't know..little bummed......and then on top of it, no wheeling this weekend. I feel like I'm ready to jump out of my skin.
Anyone want to come out for a the best Bloody Mary ever Saturday?? Ventura Pier Eric Ericssons.. I have a feeling, I'm going to really want one.
You need FaceBook. And lots of friends on it. And any time someone likes your page, or something on it, all of your friends see it. And their friends, and so on and so forth. It allows you to get yourself out there in an exponential manner. More exposure than the website alone will generate. Quit procrastinating, and join the 21st century already.
I did join FB..but someone else got me up and running through their site..which screwed things up, so I had to delete it and there's some waiting period, which I think has passed now....and so I need to join again..but when I tried to do it as I H8RDS something wasn't right..IDK dude!! So the next time, I need someone to walk me through it. I don't want to show up as my real name and I think some dude has IH8RDS so I may need to be IH8RDSLORIE or something ..IDK..this is why I need help. I DONT KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!
I can relate to bad week. I may not be the commercial/fleet manager much longer. My boss says I'm not ambitious enough because I don't work on my days off.
The job is not my life. It's a means to an end so I can live my life. Right?
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of his either at the moment. I'd almost rather go back to being a normal sales guy than put up with him at the level I have to now.
