Clicks Clicks
The new banner has seen 2 clicks thus far. That's two more than the other banner saw. One can only hope there will be more to come.
Comments are most welcome with regards to the new banner ... including professional criticism/critiques.

GiftsForYou.Biz Site - A Few Updates
A couple things I'm not sure were mentioned last go 'round (2 days ago). The main heading/header/nav menu buttons have been replaced with soft blue buttons, and the very bold red in the hover (for those using browsers that are able to see hovers) have been replaced with a lighter boldness.
On the main page, the very top banner image is now an image map. The left side will take you to the main home page while the right side will take you to the Shopping/Shipping FAQ. Also, the "Shipping Zones and Delivery Times" hot link was restored and is active again in the FAQ.
Last but not least, our Shopping/Shipping FAQ now includes information on "Personal Messages with Orders".

Google Image Ads - Banner Update
The GiftsForYou.Biz banner has been updated in Google's Image Ads.
Hopefully, this image will attract a click or two ... the other got a whopping "0". But in its defense, 'cause it can't defend itslef, it wasn't up there long.

Google Image Ads
With Google's new Image Ads, we're submitted. We now have a second ad campaign just for this purpose.
It was initially disapproved because the (automated?) validator couldn't find reference to our "Free Shipping"; which we mention in the ad. I e-mailed adwords support and also made a couple modifications to better aid them in finding the documentation (alt tag and text link modifications).
It was approved this morning. Below, you'll see the ad being used. Will require some work over time, but is good enough for now in just getting the ad campaign going.

GiftsForYou.Biz Site - Couple Updates
A few updates to the site ...
Not only should the "noscript" sections work now (been awhile since I visited the site with JavaScript turned off), this alphabetic list of gift categories has been added to every page that doesn't have a shopping navigation menu on the left (guess that's every page aside from the main page and the dynamic gfy.php page). This was some doing by the way, so if something is off, as with anything, please let me know :?
I've uploaded the last 3 top image logos and have updated the blog posts accordingly. It'll be nice to go back at some point in the future and see what they looked like when ... ;)
Couple tweaks to The Crystal Blog! settings, namely the note at the top that mentions The Crystal Blog! is updated at least once per week, minimum.
A couple tweaks to the Crystal Community settings. Oh, and not sure if I mentioned there is now a "Quotes" section in the Crystal Community. Feel free to add your favorite.

The Crystal Blog! - Wow! A Few Changes
It appears as though Blogger has made a few changes to their system. And although the GiftsForYou.Biz update happened (apparently) simultaneously, all appears to be well.
One of the Blogger.com updates is support of e-mail blogging; which is where this is being posted from. [a note from the future - the e-mail got kicked, but it still posted; although a little less than I'd hoped/expected, so will have to experiment with it more in the future (future)... ].
GiftsForYou.Biz has a new top section header section. Rollover buttons ... a bit slower for dial-ups, sorry :( but they look so sharp! <<
Also, the three info/details page have been conglomerated into one large FAQ. Nice a printable/portable.
Oh, and one additional adjustment ... the top logo (yes, again). You'll now see 4 colored crystals as opposed to the one by its lonesome. Anyone up for a monthly game of "find the red gem for $25 (in store credit)?"

GiftsForYou.Biz Site - Top Image Change - Diamond to Crystal
Well, the new top menu is coming along nicely. Unfortunately, the only thing I have to show for it right now is in the main image at the top. The "diamond" has changed to represent a "crystal".
Should be done with the top menu overhaul in another day or two. It's actually done, except I need to apply it to all the other pages such as this Blog, The Crystal Community, partner link pages, resource link pages, the external crystal-only catalog, our dynamic shopping cart (gfy.php) and all the info pages.

GiftsForYou.Biz - The Crystal Community
The process to migrate some of the clutter on the main page over to the Crystal Community (where it belongs) has begun. This migration process should be complete Within the next few days.
