Blog Update for 06/22/2008

June 22nd, 2008

BitzBox.com is kind-of-sorta live!  I deleted all the test ads and updated the store list last night.  Today I’ll be taking photos of items I will be posting and putting up the first ads.  I’ll be emailing various others to give them the “Go Ahead” to begin posting.  If you are reading this, feel free to head over there and post ads!

I am also doing several banner ads, and will be updating my sig on various forums to include Skortched Urf’ Studios newest venture.

We didn’t close on the house, the seller didn’t have all his ducks in a row so it got pushed back.  I anticipate it will be this week some time; possibly Monday or Tuesday.  We had the family over to our current place yesterday for a final shin-dig.  Pizza, crab-cakes and watermelon!

I’ve been reading over the GSL and related threads.  I am going to tread with caution on 4E releases; but at this point I will certainly not be converting my lines over to 4E.  I may start a few new ones to support it, but with WOTC able to pull the plug at any time I can’t see putting many eggs in that basket.

Secret Project revealed: BitzBox.com! (And other big news.)

June 17th, 2008

Well, I finally got the rest of the money from my retirement account. I cut a certified check for over twenty-four thousand bucks this morning to bring with me to settlement on Friday. Looks like I actually bought a house!

But who cares about that? I am also pleased to reveal (to the six people that read this blog) the [Secret Project] I have been working on for some time. Announcing…

BitzBox.com is a trading site for gamers, which will allow them to buy, sell or trade their gaming related stuff easily with anyone. Weather across the country or in your very own neighborhood, using BitzBox.com lets you facilitate trades with ease.

So that is the quick over-view. What I want are a few pairs of “new eyes” to take a look at the site and let me know what you like, what you don’t like and any general advice. Would you use this site? If not, why not? Please go to the site, poke around, post a few test ads (please no ‘real’ ads until the site goes live) and give me some feedback. Just email me with your comments and let me know what you think.

As a ‘Thank You’ for anyone providing feedback, I will be happy to hand out some free PDF’s from our catalog or give you some free banner ads on the site. Once I have beta tested the site for a week or two, I’ll go “live” with it.

Thanks!

Working on our Storefront

December 12th, 2006

We are currently setting up our very own storefront. You will notice links to it on the right, and will be able to view our current products and even pay for them via PayPal!

***UPDATE***

The Store is now fully functional.  All products  are now able to be purchased and downloaded!  We are now working on making the store more organized and laid out, so give us a few more days and we’ll have the shelves stocked and the neon “Open” sign lit.
