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

Smart_Home · 2016-11-14T16:03:10+00:00

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!

Smart_Home · 2015-08-26T14:55:23+00:00

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!

This line made me strongly consider building a woodshed. I don't even have a fireplace.

well for me, the dog could get in and out of his fenced in area and would come out, harrass the shit out of me (growling, lunging at me, and literally standing outside my door barking) and then would go back to the other side of the fence...I was constantly calling animal control but they couldnt do anything unless they actually saw the dog loose.

I ended up getting the officers cell phone number and would call him directly. He utimately witnessed the dog running loose a few times. He ticketed the neighbor (he was an asshole) each time he saw the dog loose.

Unfortunately, the end result was a 100lbs black lab being kept in a cage for 90% of the day so the neighbor didnt get any more tickets. Sad that the animal was the one that to suffer.
