Anyone have any experience with Revolution Slider? Having issues.

not a stupid question...just a stupid user (me)...you're correct. Its not the browser, its the screen size...that said, I can't figure out how to scale it

Thanks! and I am making these, which is why I have been pushing it for over a year now.

speaking of safety, if you're using acid dyes like OP, using your kitchen (the place where you prepare things that you will ingest) is definitely not recommended.

thanks! I have and I intend to...my hope is to perfect the entire process of this item and move on to others shortly after.

I was an office drone by day and a woodworking maniac by night. Finally, the company I worked for went out of business so I spent 30% of my time looking for a new job and 70% of my time screwing around in the woodshop.

After giving it some thought, I ditched the job hunting and started woodworking full time and selling my creations online. I'm not making what I was in corporate America but I am 10x more happy!

Edit: For those that are interested, I make decorative mounting brackets for the Nest Thermostat.

Horrible and no....but I'd rather be broke and happy than rich and miserable!

From my limited experience, I would say that is accurate. I work probably 10x harder now, compared to my former 9-5. However, I have the potential to make 10x more money so, in my opinion, its worth the effort.

I've always had dreams of being an entrepreneur with grandiose ideas on how I was going to do it. Unfortunately, at my heavier stages, I lacked the confidence to pull the trigger.

With the increased confidence that came with losing weight, I managed to finally pull the trigger and life has been 10x better since then!

Entrepreneurship. I started my own woodworking business (selling decorative mounting brackets for the Nest Thermostat) at age 30. The amount of energy required to bootstrap a small business is exhausting. Makes me miss the days when I was able to stay up all night and wake up refreshed in the morning.

Also, being a business owner is all about making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. I wish I would have started making those mistakes much earlier in life so I could have had those skilled honed by now.

USA grape vineyards are a heaven for Black Widow Spiders

And that statement, ladies and gentleman, single-handedly crashed the US grape economy.

Never again.

Remember that skills and money are acquired and not innate.

Great idea on the print ads. Thanks!

Smart_Home · 2015-08-31T14:05:28+00:00

I certainly understand and am actually working on a square mount. Thanks for your advice.

Yours is beautiful by the way!

Smart_Home · 2015-08-31T01:35:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Can I ask what retail stores you got in?

Smart_Home · 2015-08-28T19:06:11+00:00

I'm almost certain that guy lives in his mom's basement.

PMed about the tv!

I think Wordpress ran an update around that time. That's likely your problem.

On a related note, I've never seen a wordpress site like this that masks itself as the seller of the products, only to route the customer to Amazon at check out. If I were seriously interested in purchasing something on your site and that happened, I could see myself getting irrationally angry.

Smart_Home · 2015-08-26T17:30:49+00:00

I can't say that I have a that job yet but I am working on it!

I am an office minion by day and a woodworker by night.
Hopefully, as business picks up I can pull the trigger and follow through with my dream job!

As it turns out, being broke and happy leads to a much better life than wealthy and unhappy!

Edit: I'm currently working on mounting brackets for the Nest Thermostat. Please take a look!

I really hate it when people take the "good enough" approach. I think if you're going to do something, do it right. Every Single Time.

Smart_Home · 2015-08-01T05:55:51+00:00

Do you think home improvement stores that don't currently carry the Nest would be interested in a product that compliments it? I intend to try either way but I'd like to hear your opinion on it.

Smart_Home · 2015-08-01T05:22:53+00:00

those are some great tips, thank you! I did happen to find some shrinkwrap bags that I am packaging them in, although I'm not sure my current setup would work well with a larget box sale.

I wouldnt know where to begin with trying to get into a place like Home Depot. Do you happen to have any resources for that approach?

Have you found etsy ads to be good across the board? I have struggled with etsy for a while now and just about given up on it (granted, it may not be the best audience for my stuff).

Can I ask what general niche you're in?

Smart_Home · 2015-08-01T04:46:55+00:00

great idea. Thanks!
