(Part #2) By Wood Workers for Wood Workers in the wood working community.

Nice looking site! Thanks for the “lack” of bells and whistles. I, too, get so fed up with useless windows and pop ups.

I will be using your site, shortly. Looks like I am going to upgrade my planer and part with the old one.

I can’t wait until someone uses the up load video part I want to see how it works because I have not tested it yet. Bring the computer into your shop then you really won’t get anything done. I am getting rid of the one in my shop for that reason. When we upgraded to an HP I thought some day I would get a small CNC machine and the computer would be one less part of it to buy but then I woke up to reality and went back to making saw dust. Well its off to the Tampa wood Working show. Credit cards stay at home!

Blah! The new software is not preforming the way I had hoped it would. No documentation came with it and I am unable to edit the pages to enter the content other than add or subtract categories, Their map feature is a real nice thing but that is the extent of it. Unless I can find someone that can write in html and php I will start to look for another software package and blow off the cash I laid out for the program and the second hosting package. Oh well live and learn. The original site is back up and still doing very well. We are seeing a good amount of traffic other then from LJ’s. People are coming from other wood working sites and “Wood Talk On Line” gave us some air time or will according to Mark last time I talked to him in an email.
So if you need to sell something or want to buy a new tool you can use both sites woodworkersclassified.net woodworkerslist.com . So keep on posting and keep on looking I guess these things take time. Sorry if this messed anyone up.

Well I shook up the software vendor ans told them I want my money back if they did not respond. Just about everything was fixed in one day. Yea one day after 5 days of emailing them in the UK and not getting any results. With that behind me know I tried out the video posting and added a Jobs category the ads are coming in slow but we are new and I expected that. I am working on putting up a demo section with all videos of new tool releases for anyone to watch.

I haven’t looked at your site yet but I would have no problem helping you out. I am a Sr. Software engineer specializing in web applications. I have produced automation that eliminated tons of manual effort. I have been writing HTML for nearly 15 years, ran my own web hosting company for over 5 years, and a Linux ninja. I’ve also got a great deal of experience with PHP and using Javascript with the Google map API’s to do all sorts of things.

I’m also a woodworker. If you need a programmer let me know. I also know a few ways you can monetize the traffic you’re getting to ‘pay the bills’. We can work something out. Drop me a line.

Take care,
jMatt

Ok, I looked at your site now. Good start! What is the name of the software. I could probably do some customizations on that package or add some desired functionality to the Google maps. Nice site. I’m just now getting my woodworking site/blog up and running so I’ll make a link to ya if I can get one in return.

Good night,
jMatt

Matt, you may be a god send. If you looked at all my post you will see haw this all came to be but to save you some reading. I saw what I thought was a need and it has grown from there. 14 days later I have 2 sites and about $300.00 invested in something that 15 days ago I had no idea I was going to do. I will PM you the rest of my thoughts and you can let me know what you think/ you can do.
Thanks

Sandhill,

You have a PM. I don’t know about a God send but I’ve been doing this for too long and can help you avoid some of the things that a lot of webmasters don’t consider early on.

Take care,

I have moved all the posted ads to the new site. If they can be viewed at woodworkersclassified.net
keep them coming. Any new categories or features you can think of would be great.

Well I have to apologize for what has happened wit the classified ad site. I am about to get a refund on some software I bought for site. It turned out to be a disaster the program has bugs all over, after about a lot of hours every day for 2 weeks Ive give up on this software. The tech support people say its the server configuration now. The server is what they recommended the company and software is ikiclassifieds. besides the software being the pits they are the worst people I have ever dealt with, it took them as much as 48 hours to respond to an email if at all and when they did respond they were not very nice about it. Not that anyone would buy this software but me… If I had to rate these guys on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst I would give them a -100.

sandhill, I don’t know what’s going on, but I cannot get to your site. It must be me. I use firefox mainly,but tried it with IE and still no luck. Any suggestions?

-- Rick

No luck getting on either.

http://woodworkersclassified.net is the web site I think the link was or is bad for some reason. But as I said previously I am having a lot of trouble with the software and may be getting a refund if they can guarantee no more problems I may move it to another server because they are saying its the server configuration even though the required software platforms are there they may be set up wrong. I cant say I know if that is true.
Sorry for the trouble but at some point this will work.

We make a special saw blade that uses an advanced cermet material for the tips so that the blade lasts longer. No one really wants to sell a saw blade that lasts longer, especially saw shops, so we are having a hard time finding someone to distribute them. We tried selling them online, which allows us to sell them to anyone, anywhere. I posted an ad about our LongLife saw blades on your classified site. Hope that’s okay. Thanks for putting the site together. I think it’s a great idea.

Bob, you have mail. Let me know. Time to get serious. haha

We are back up and running the way it should the software vendor was correct about the server settings reeking havoc on the program so back to getting I copied some of the ads but I have decided to let anyone that placed an ad do the replacement themselves because in some cases I know the item sold but I am not sure so anyone that wants to re-post be assured it will work this time and I am sorry for the trouble.

I’m still getting errors on my end.

500 internal server error to be exact.

Some other people are getting that error as well I checked and they tell me that it will take a few hours to propagate.

It’s working for me now

Is there nothing for sale on the site? I see a “0” by each section, and if I click on any of them it returns a “No Result” response.

-- Joe

Its a brand new site and just went back up today with new software. There were a number of items that were listed and a lot that was sold I did not put the ads back up because I don’t know what sold and what did not I would suspect that you will see a lot of items being listed as time permits people to re-list. It is working very well and people are getting results. If you see a category or sub category I missed please let me know. I also put in a section for woodworkers to sell things they have made. You can also post videos as well.

OK – BTW – There is a typo on the Planer category – Too many “N’s”

Hi Sandhill, thanks so much for your efforts on the Woodworkersclassifieds site. Hope it goes really well for you and it should with so many “woodies” around. I just posted a few buckeye pen blanks on there to “test the waters”....everything went smoothly and I plan on posting more. I’ve sold a little wood on that e-whatever place but that’s not much fun anymore. I think your timing couldn’t be better.
Good luck to you, Rocky….rockb

-- I know the Creator of wood......Yeah, I'm a name dropper. : )

sandhill writing in html is easy. Just use microsoft frontpage and copy the html to the window easy as 1,2,3…. less complex than browsing LJ’s

Time to start over. I had to get a refund for the classified software. The latest problem was all the categories and adds were missing. Why? I have no idea. But its over. So where to now? Start over I will post where and when after the new site is up and running AND TESTED.
