Lots of things just slipping into place this week, totally unexpected but really for the better. You know when you have something that is not quite right and you are not totally sure how to change it without messing it all up? Yes I was there this week. I had AdsMallorca thriving on Google and increasing every day with visits, unbelievable hits and yet something was not quite what I wanted – it was too, for want of a better word, playful, not serious enough.
Several months ago I had found the perfect template for AdsMallorca, but unfortunately it did not have all of the settings that I would have liked for the advertising possibilities of our clients so I had been dithering about setting it up, testing it on other sites and really not getting any further with it on AdsMallorca. Then disaster! Luckily I had put a warning up on the forum that I was going to be updating software and that there might be difficulties accessing the site. Little did I realise at the time the problems that were going to appear before me!
Once again I was toying with the idea of this new template which would enable me to add photos of Mallorca in the header advertising how beautiful it is but I was still undecided. So I was trying it out on another test and without even thinking copied files over from AdsMallorca only to find my totally set up advertising site for Mallorca was suddenly there using a basic template and looking awful.
I closed the site down for ‘improvement’. I could not believe it – I felt as if I had been put into the position of having to set up this new template – of course I could have just backed everything up and it would have remained as it was.
Just under two hours later I had a fully functioning AdsMallorca – the advertising website for Mallorca – without the advertising banners but everything else working beautifully. The next day I improvised with resizing and repositioning all of the banner advertising so that it fitted in with this template and I have to say I am much happier with the whole look of the site.
I would love to hear any comments you may have regarding how the site looks now and if you know anyone who lives in Mallorca and has a business let them know that our special offer of three months free advertising ends tomorrow. We are a community site with information on Mallorca, free ads for Mallorca residents and visitors along with a business directory for businesses here or catering for the english speaking population of Mallorca.
