    It's great! It's always so nice to get a little glimpse of the people behind a company.

    Wonderful!
    I really enjoyed the pics as well.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    Thanks for the nice comments. One question: a framebuilding buddy of mine swears folks like to see pictures of frames being built on blogs. I used to post some "raw" (i.e., pre-paint) photos of frames in progress on my website, but never got the impression that women find images of weld beads or brass fillets particularly interesting to look at. The "point" of displaying them, I suppose, is to display your skill and instill confidence, and inspire framebuilder worship (which I am all for, btw). I am skeptical that "build photos" are as interesting for the women as they are for the guys. Do you all think that kind of stuff is interesting to see?

    If not, for those just interested in following the blog (not necessarily interested in buying), what would you like to see or hear about from a framebuilder's perspective? I want the blog to be interesting and informative (when I am not posting family vacation photos, that is), and I need help from the general (female) population as to what exactly that is...

    This blog's for you.

    Your ideas much appreciated.

    Thanks again

    Definitely, yes!
    I find build photos interesting and instructive. Actually one of my plans is to someday take a vacation and go visit a framebuilder so I can learn more about the process. I'm sure there's other women out there that are as interested in building as I am. So your blog will have many readers

    Very nice! I have to agree with all of the other ladies, that I would LOVE to see pictures of frames in action!! It's very interesting to me, and it sounds like you might have a following here Bleeker mentioned adding some personal photos along the way, and I "totally" agree with her! It would make your blog that much more personal.

    Great job, thanks for sharing it with us!
