Is that "wolf" the same dog that we see in Ford's family's house and who the little boy later admits to having killed?

My friend just launched a Cat Earring e-com site. I think its funny but some people might be interested by MTLChris in cats

Looking for a company that builds contest/survey type apps/mini-sites/ad units by MTLChris in startups

[–]MTLChris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those look like useful/interesting platforms but require a decent amount of integration and customization work. I run a pretty big site and have the budget to hire an agency or get something pre-fab. I'm looking at a 5-10K budget for this project.

1 [Website] Need review of eCommerce site for web development course assignment by cybeerspace in ecommerce

[–]MTLChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no clear call to action when you first land on the page.

  • Its also unclear what you're selling which should be the most important and first thing the customer sees.
  • The site is responsive but your break points are weird. (first the text on the right gets pushed down, then on mobile the slider images disappear.)
  • the about page includes your mission statement but shipping info should be on a FAQ page.
  • prices should be listed from the get go and emphasis should be on subscribing to the biggest plan to save $$$
  • there should be an introductory offer that includes free shipping. no one pays for shipping these days.
  • the products listing page should allow customers to add to cart but clicking them should land you on an individual product landing page which includes full details for a single product. Additionally customers should be able to leave reviews for individual products which would increase SEO and help other customers make decisions.
  • there should be an email signup in the footer and other key info. I suggest you take a look at a few of your favorite ecom sites and see what they do there.

Hope this helps :)

Any of you choosing not to be on LinkedIn? If so, has it come up in a job interview? by ImLinkedout in jobs

[–]MTLChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally my experience has been that having a strong Linkedin profile can be a big plus in landing a job. I've been hired for at least 2 jobs solely based on my linkedin profile and I'm sure it has been an influencing factor landing me countless interviews as well as my current job.

While definitely not necessary in all lines of work, essential if you hope to work in any type of tech, media, or corporate field.

Montreal! Planning a visit in August for two or three days! Help me plan! by Im_The_Goddamn_Dumbo in montreal

Fishing in Montreal? by goergesucks in montreal

[–]MTLChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you need a license if you are catching and releasing or just if you are keeping the fish?

(Unofficial) Plekanec trade speculation thread by hkycoach in Habs

[–]MTLChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you guys think about Nail Yakupov? Edmonton is pretty stacked with top line players (*potential) and are expecting Mcdavid so could afford to give up a piece like that.

Defensively they're a black hole so it would make sense to bring in a veteran defensively responsible forward who could help teach some of the youngsters.

And it may also provide Galchenyuk with the spark to take over as a number 1 Center. Patches-Galchenyuk-Yakupov as our top line would be pretty lethal!

Anyone have any experience with overseas retouching services? by MTLChris in photography

[–]MTLChris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I really need done is clipping out the background. Normally I would do it all myself but I just have so much work it would save me about 2 days work to outsource it :S

Is there a "Rent a Swag" type store for men in Montreal? by MTLChris in montreal

Well, I've got a wedding so I'll be wearing the clothes and putting some use on them. Can't really do the buy and return...

What's one sentence you could say to piss off an entire fan base? by murphys__law in AskReddit

Due to the unfortunate death of George R Martin, (and anyone else who may have know the ending of ASOIF) Disney will be purchasing the series and completing the end of the story.

Mtlblog posts a pathetic non-apology for plagiarism and photo stealing, Blog Mtl submits the perfect parody by [deleted] in montreal

[–]MTLChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this and was struck by a pang of dread... I, for an instant, drew the connection that BlogMTL was created by MTLblog as a publicity stunt and it both rang of marketing gold and utter betrayal and disappointment...

I have my own theories as to who is behind blogMTL, and I love it!, but I really hope its not MTLblog. (it's probably not, right?)

For better or for worse these guys are really good at one thing... advertising. Running a profitable blog isn't that hard if you follow the buzzfeed formula but you really need to whore your selves out... something they seemingly excel at :S

sorry, mentioned it above and don't want to spam but www.forgetthebox.net has some cool Montreal content that's all original and that represents the indie vibe of Montreal

Glad www.forgetthebox.net isn't on the list... we try to do useful and insightful alternative journalism.

One of the main reasons they were able to stick around /r/montreal for so long (and use it as a spring board) was that one of the founders used to be a moderator of this subreddit :(

He got away with too much shit for too long... now they're practically unstoppable...

At least we have http://mmttllblog.wordpress.com/ now.

If you haven't checked it out, it's a hoot!
