FUN MATCH AT ARGUS RANCH

22.07.2009 No comments »

Its not official official but I think Gold Ears will be participating in the Fun Match at Argus Ranch, Wednesday the 29th of July.   I think this will better prepare us for the AKC trial in Enumclaw that we are currently entered in.

Also as a reminder, please come out and join us this upcoming weekend for the NADAC trial in Kent.  This will be Indy’s second trial, so I have pretty high expectations for him – though I am going to try to be realistic.   We’d appreciate any support, and I am sure Indy and the rest of the Gold Ears team would love to see you.

VERSION 03 HAS LAUNCHED

20.07.2009 No comments »

After lots of hard work, Gold Ears has finally launched Version 03.  I realized I said I was going to post more screenshots prior to launch but considering how close we were to finishing, we opted to forgo it and bring it to you live.  You’ll notice the overall appearance has changed – this was meant to streamline the navigation process, as well as better highlight the content available.  Some pages may not even exist, however I assure you that any info that was available in Version 02 still exists; most of it was just consolidated.

Most of the pages should be bug free, but if you come across something that seems fishy please flag it for us.  We also realize that our “Shop” page isn’t complete – we are working on that as we speak, and perhaps might have some stuff available as soon as by the end of the month.  Any comments and/or criticism are welcomed!

Along with this launch, we are ushering in something new at Gold Ears – fresh content.  That’s right.  I’ve discussed it with Bridget and the plan is to publish a new story/article every week or so in conjunction with our regular updates.  We realize our presence on the inter-web isn’t great, but with more viable content we plan to change that.  These stories/articles will vary but most, if not all, should relate back to dogs and pets in general.

So that is all for now, I hope you enjoy the new site – remember to leave your shoes at the door.

VERSION 03 IS ON THE WAY

Although Version 02 of the Gold Ears website has only been up for this last year, we are getting ready to roll out the next edition.  I won’t give too much away, but this next version should be better coded, easier to navigate, and much more minimal in design.  So far we are really happy with the its development and we hope you’ll like it too.  We will provide screenshots as we get closer to the final design.  Thanks everyone!

SEATTLE AVMA CONVENTION

Its about 3:45 in the morning… that would be in the AM and I am going to be expected to get up in the morning and drive Ms. Overbey to her convention tomorrow.  What does this mean?  Should I be entitled to some sort of back/foot rub.  Indeed.  The worst part will probably be the drive honestly, I don’t much mind the presentations – though they make me worried about Mr. Swagger.  I actually came home today and started stretching out his limbs – lets just say me and him had to come to an agreement… he doesn’t get hip dysplasia  and I will steal him as much swag at the convention as I can.

TESTING A WORDPRESS BLOG

No comments »

We are testing a wordpress blog, as a possible new feature to our site.  I’ve been trying to figure out a simple way of streamlining updates without having to continually writing html.  Essentially, I am trying to take our static webpage and make it more dynamic.  Considering I am slightly new to it all, its still a little rough.  Hopefully I will be able to customize this wordpress theme (or perhaps find one that better reflects the style of the original website).
