| CAUTION: Scam Alert
- YES. The ads are free. Unlimited (for now anyhow) photos and videos.
- "Lil, you are so kind. How can I ever repay you?"
Well, you can
recommend this site to your friends. Put links to it on your site and all
your other pages, such as Facebook, etc. I'm also happy to accept freewill
donations; just PayPal (or
GunPal, if you prefer
a conservative's alternative) them to me at
LilPeck@gmail.com.
-
When you submit an ad, a
TinyURL is
automatically created for it. A TinyURL is a short, unbreakable link
that you can place into emails or use on forums that redirects to
your ad. Let's see how long it takes the big equine classifieds to
copy that idea! (You'll find your TinyURL on the public view of your
ad.)
-
When you submit an ad, the
ad form tries to guess where your geographical location is and
pre-fills the location boxes for you. If that is not where your
horse is located, you can change them.
-
When you submit an ad, this site's
Twitter account
automatically sends a tweet to update its status with the TinyURL to
your ad. Cool! Let's see how long it takes the big equine classifieds to
copy that idea!
-
"Your site doesn't work for me." Well, with everyone having
different computers that vary greatly according to what software they're
running, and varying according to how much spyware and malware their systems
have picked up from all those naughty sites they should stay away from,
there is no way I can make certain that my site will perform magnificently
for everyone. And yeah, I occasionally encounter a site visitor who as my
mother-in-law might say, "Is one of those people who would complain about
being hung with a new rope."
-
"This site isn't pretty." All too true.
Although my degree was in Fine Arts, decades ago, I now focus on
programming. With limited time and energy, I work on the underlying
architecture of this site before working on the aesthetics. Also, my
clients' sites get made all pretty before my own.
-
HOWEVER, useful bug reports and problem complaints from you are greatly
appreciated! Keep them coming! If not for feedback from you folks, I'm
laboring under the blissful delusion that I'm some kind of programming
genius. ;) I need you to keep me humble. (BTW, that was intended to be
humorous self-deprecation, in case that went over your head.) No, REALLY, I
do need to know when stuff on this site doesn't work, so I can fix it or go
nuts trying to.
-
"I went to your site and the links don't work."
OK, thank you for
that very helpful bit of information. :::Waves magic wand::: Now they work!
;)
-
"Your site is crappy. But I like ABC site and XYZ site. Those are
really good sites." (Yes, I have gotten PHONE calls even, to that
effect!) Isn't it lovely that there is something on the net for everyone,
even puffed-up, pretentious passive aggressive blowhards who entertain
themselves by trying to tear down people who work harder and try harder than
they would ever have the guts to try?
-
"The videos on your site are crappy. Wouldn't you expect more from
the internet?" OK, so the person who called me up to tell me that did so
about 12 years ago. But the call was so funny (and she was dead serious and
so full of herself),
that I'm sharing it with y'all now. Back then, we were all on dialup and I
edited my horse-for-sale videos accordingly. "Well, it isn't TV," I
told her then. Now we have broadband. Woot!
- "Hey, this is supposed to be an FAQ." You're right. I got carried
away by my own cuteness.
-
OK, to post horse ads, or links, or enter the online horse show, or
anything else on this site, you have to
register.
-
When you register, there's a radio button to click if you want to
receive the email alerts that someone has requested an AQHA record. If you
select to receive the alerts, and change your mind later, login to your
account and turn it off.
If you put me to the trouble of doing it for you,
I'm just as likely to ban your email address from the site, just for grins.
The saying goes, "You can't fix stupid," and I'm not about to try to fix
you. That's way more work than I'm prepared for.
-
"You're a beeyotch." I have my moments. I also have a thick skin. Yep,
while you were still in diapers, I was an official AOL chat host, back in
the ancient times when AOL ruled the world and being one of their official
trained chat host volunteers was impressive to one's mother. I survived that, I can
withstand your puny insults.
-
"This FAQ is very unprofessional." You think? In what way? I do so want
to know, so I may continue on my lifetime quest towards working myself to
death for nothing other than the warm feeling it gives me.
-
"You know there's no one here. You're having a conversation with
yourself." Oops, guess I'd better go to the barn and visit with the horses
then.
-
"You're not funny." That's OK, I'll settle
for peculiar.
-
BTW, there are absolutely no promises, guarantees,
warranties, contracts, or anything of the nature of those things at all for
anyone or anything who comes to this site. None. Zip. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

THANK YOU to everyone who tolerates my BS and
gives me useful feedback, and encouragement. Special thanks to co-hostess of
the Quarter Horse Times community, Bonnie Metcalf.
