Treasure Journeys Background

Thought I would give some background as to the humble beginnings of Treasure Journeys.  Here is a link to a interview that I did a few months ago with Auctiva.com people for their newsletter titled  "A Journey They Treasure".

We use Auctiva.com to list our Ebay items and the AuctivaCommerce.com for our website.  They are great people to work with and we have found the tools very easy to work with.

We were also fortunate to do a Internet Radio interview on Everything Internet here is the link to Treasure Journeys interview.

Everything Internet is a great resource for people that want to learn about the internet and how to apply it to your business. It is based in Texas and is aired every Saturday on the internet.

Looks like I have posted quite a few links today but, I think these are very useful and informative if you are wanting to do ecommerce.

Blogger Settings for My Blog

Well now that I have decided on direction I need to set up my settings for the blog. I have just discovered that takes a person down many roads and can get puzzling at times as to what I am doing! Sometimes there is not much information available as to what the choices entail and you have to just jump in with both feet. It is scary! I don't want to make mistakes and have to go back and make changes - I would rather do it right the first time. Have gone down that other path too many times.

So here goes. I went to the settings page for Life Journeys and made my choices.

Page one - Basic settings - fairly straight forward - no hard decisions here.
Same with Publishing and formatting tabs

Comments Tab - Here you decide as to who can comment and how it is shown. I chose to show the comments and allow only registered users to make comments (I did not feel like allowing anonymous users to make visable comments - just a gut feeling)

Also chose to show back links - interested in seeing what other sites link to this blog.

Chose comment moderation and word verification for comments - Would like to see what is being written before publishing on this blog. Do not want to have certain material in my blog. This gives me the choice of what is published.

Archiving and Site Feed pretty straight forward. Site Feed I set at Full

Email and Mobile - I did not do anything with - I will not publish content from these devices.

Permissions Tab - Blog Authors and who can view are pretty straight forward.

Well that takes care of how I set up the settings on this blog. Then I discovered I wanted to make this available for following of this blog. Found out about FeedBurner - this will be the next blog discussion.

If you have comments about how you set up your blog please feel free to comment.

The Journey of Internet Selling

Struggling to decide direction for this blog and what topic to write about. After giving much thought I have decided to blog about my experiences of selling on the internet. Topics that will be discussed will cover all aspects from starting a website, deciding what to sell, promoting your website, selling on ebay, picture taking, drop shipping, using social sites, marketing tools, etc.....

I will be sharing the good and the bad. Writing about the paths I have taken going down the wrong road and the right road and what I have discovered along the way.

I will try to answer questions that readers have and also post discussions on topics related to selling on the internet. If you have experiences you would like to share you are invited to comment on topics discussed.

If this sounds interesting I would like to invite you on this life journey.

National Almond Day

Today February 16th is national almond day. Almonds are the most nutritious of all nuts they are low in saturated fat and contain other protective nutrients that may help against cancer.
Studies have shown that eating nuts 5 times a week help reduce risk against heart attack by 50%. Almonds also help reduce cholesterol levels.
Eating 3 oz. of almonds a day will give you all the vitamins and minerals you need to improve your diet and fight disease as well as 105% of your daily vitamin E.
After all that the best part is they taste good!

Key Lime Pie

I made the Key Lime Pie mix from Wind and Willow tonight. It is easy and fast to make - less than 30 minutes. Mix the bag with the key lime ingredients with 8 oz. of cream cheese, 8 oz. of whipped topping (I used Cool Whip) and 4 Tbl spoons of semi-melted butter. After mixing I put the mixture in a store bought graham cracker pie crust. Then I sprinkled the package of graham bits on top of the pie and put in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

We thought the pie was a creamy pie with a light to medium taste of lime. It could have had a stronger lime taste for our liking. It might be improved by adding slices of lime on the top of the pie.

We would give the pie a rating of 6 on a 1-10 scale. Mainly it is a fast and easy dessert for a family meal at dinner or afterwards.

The mix has several recipes available that we have not tried yet. The Key Lime Pie would be a nice appetizer or snack to serve on graham crackers, cookies or a variety of fruit.

Hot soup on a cold day

Brrrrr!!!!... On a cold day like today I like a nice hot bowl of creamy baked potato soup with chunks of potatos, cheddar cheese and bacon. We use Wind and Willows baked potato soup mix and it is ready is less than 30 minutes. You just add 6 cups of water and you are good to go! Here is another excellent recipe that is a tasty Clam Chowder using the baked potato soup as a base.
