I am a web developer and I think that with little work this site could have something great. Don't get me wrong This is a great site but I run several forums and would like to see this be a little more user friendly. Take a look at these pics and see if it sparks any interest... ****Edited****

PM Jake Pehrson and give him your phone number. He can probably talk about details in 5 minutes in what would take days of back and forth here on the forum. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

It'd be awesome if we could just get people to post photos of what they're selling first...or even just commit to selling an item.  Sorry...that was just the first thing that jumped to my mind, and I know it has nothing to do with your suggestion. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

| The good thing is it dont need pictures but it does help and the way it is set up it suggests to ad them more than just here. I think that the many different steps it takes to post pics here is what deters people from posting them. |

Yup Jake runs the site basically. He's the one to go through. I'm not opposed to updates to the forum but I think the main page looks good these days. Also that is one expensive Glock! ------------- None at the moment Soon: 72 Gallon Bowfront |

Hey guys, I have gotten a few emails saying that I an doing this for money. Just so everyone knows I am not asking or suggesting this to make any profit. in fact I am not asking anything in return. I am simply offering my knowledge and more to help Jake if he decides to do this. I love WMAS and want to give back. Thanks, ClownFishAddict |

Just for your consideration...your suggestions may come across a bit better if you were a paid member of the club. (I didn't email/PM you...just a suggestion.) ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

also the software that I showed jake has an addon for the members to create their own blogs here and manage their own blogs. It could be for paid members only or for everyone. ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61789&title=ok-here-it-goes-my-redneck-120-rimless-build" rel="nofollow">

You people are being weird. If the man wants to work for free, let him. I would think the only considerations would be style/ u.e. upgrades or not? ------------- Defending Reefscape Champion (I Think) |

I think it sounds like a very generous offer. I work in information technology and there is a lot of time that goes into this stuff. If the pres is happy with the site whateve thats cool. But I say kudos to you man for offering up your services for free

Brain, Thank you very much for the suggestion. Your website looks great! I will put it on the agenda to talk about at the next presidency meeting. I will also speak with Jake and get his input on it. As you have heard of and are aware of, Jake does the website and offers up all services free. He has always done so. In the process of what he does, I know Jake is always got something in the works for the website and he may have already been working on a revamp. Once again Im not sure of this but I will speak with Jake. Get his ideas and then present to the presidency. Thank you again, and again that site is amazing. Im actually going to send you a PM for my business and ask you a few questions to see what you can do! Thank you Jeremy ------------- Next meeting: |

Thanks Jeremy, I am serious about helping out if you guys like. even if it is to take some pressure off others. If there were an upgrade to the site, there are tons of things you can do to make money for the site. I could even help out in advertising. I make a lot in advertising myself so I know what your missing out on. ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61789&title=ok-here-it-goes-my-redneck-120-rimless-build" rel="nofollow">

| I also think the site should be modified to be more user friendly. That being said Jake has done a wonderful job, and it has come leaps and bounds from where it was years ago. |

I'm a big fan of Go Daddy Founder Bob Parsons. http://www.bobparsons.me/bp_16_rules.php?ci=21428" rel="nofollow - http://www.bobparsons.me/bp_16_rules.php?ci=21428 He says "#7 - Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages." ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61789&title=ok-here-it-goes-my-redneck-120-rimless-build" rel="nofollow">
