HEY, ALL YOU GARAGE SALE SHOPPERS OUT THERE!
I need feedback for my website. Is it too boring? Does it need more features? Is it easy to navigate?
I haven't been able to promote the website like I want. If you've been keeping up, you know that I have three children...and for some reason they aren't as excited as I am about going to garage sales?
I was thinking about hiring someone to sit with them on Fridays so that I can go have some fun, but that would really dip into my shopping money.
Oh, well. It's already Tuesday and I haven't sent out any business cards to any of those who are scheduled to have garage sales this weekend. My hope is that I can encourage some to post the details about their garage sales by making personal contact prior to their event.
I'll at least send out 10 tomorrow to see what response I get.
Hey you garage sale shoppers out there. Please visit the site and send some feedback. Thanks.

OK. I'll bite.
If you are in Houston, TX and like garage sales, then you will be blown away by the Oakhurst @ Kingwood Community Garage Sale.
Last year, there were over 110 homes participating, which amounted to one in every eight homes in Oakhurst. The official web site now shows that on August 22, there are already 47 homes registered for this year's sale, on October 10, 2009. We have almost 200 more homes in Oakhurst this year, than last year, so we expect to significantly surpass the last one.
Last year's garage sale was more like a festival than a garage sale and we had people from as far away as Huntsville, TX and League City, TX. This year, we're shooting for Galveston and Tyler.
It's done right, with a very informative web site, email and web updates, maps of the area, showing participating homes, professional signs at the entrances and throughout Oakhurst, the works. There is even a Flash countdown clock on that site, for those who want to use it. I would embed it here, but I'm pretty sure that Blogger doesn't allow embed code.
