Default WHY....must YOU people get all "fuzzed up"...

...over what one of my "fans" posts?

Because my "Fan" and "Archivist" ... has been allowed to post and the Board has decided to CONTINUE to COMMENT on his post ().... one of my OLD posts about my "WEDDING PHOTO" program, I will respond:

OVER 8 years ago, I got THIS PROMO IDEA. Then....about 2 years ago I put together a program for Wedding Photogs and Reception Halls. I COULD NOT FIND the "right" software to use so....I used a program where the Photog or Hall had to install on THEIR pcs....AND...they used THEIR OWN DOMAIN NAMES.

Because of these 2 factors;
1) Software that had to be installed on my client's pcs
2) Use my customer's Domain Name and websites

....I could not charge a "Monthly Membership Fee". I had to sell the program in a LUMP SUM to each customer.

And....after a few sales....I dropped it for a later day when the software I'm looking for would be available AND....the Domain Name I wanted would become available....so I could offer a service where Photogs and Halls could simply use their Browser to;
1) Enter MY website with their password
2) UpLoad their photos into an Album....and
3) Each "Album" would be listed under the name of the wedding

(Back then, when I went to register the Domain I wanted, I saw that someone had already grabbed it. Shame on me for divulging too much info, too soon)

So....one of the "future notes to myself" reminded me to see if the Domain Name I wanted was available....and it was, this week....so I grabbed it.

Now....I still do not have the;
1) Membership Software
2) Photo Album software

I STILL might have to hire a programmer to modify the scripts some of the "good people" here have mentioned.

AND....when I have the right software....I WILL go get "MEMBERS" who will pay me a Monthly Fee....to post their Photos on my site.

I have discovered, THIS WEEK, that THIS idea is STILL....very doable and of MUCH INTEREST to this "Niche Market".

Thus....is MY explanation of WHY I have AGAIN....brought up THIS Topic...in response to a post one of my "fans" has made....which has gotten some of you folks "in a Fuzz".

Now....I have to leave my keyboard to go collect checks from customers of my present program. And, when I return here this evening, I fully expect to see comments from "my Fans"....who will "attempt to tear this response apart, sentence by sentence....and possibly MORE comments from the "commanders of this Forum"....wondering about something else "my Fan" has said. WHO has been BANNED from this Forum but contimues to be allowed to post "UnderCover".

Have FUN on yer keyboards, folks! US "doers" have "shoe-leather to wear out and....WORK to do!

Don Alm...."Doer"
