Dressing up the blog.

First thing I want to do, is dress up this blog. Make it the Pegasus Books 'website' for the time being.

Things like having my logo; posted store hours; brief description of the store.

I'd like to be able to post pictures.


THEGOON.COM is proud to announce that THE GOON has been optioned by acclaimed director and producer DAVID FINCHER and Academy-Award nominated BLUR STUDIO to develop as a CG animated feature film with Dark Horse Entertainment.



That pesky Dave

I'd like to be able to hyperlink.

I'd like to be able to Link.

And so on.

Anyone out there want to come in and help me out on these things? I warn you, I'm a total luddite.

I figure I can tackle about one of the above things per visit, or my head will explode.



Meanwhile, does anyone know where I can get Bend postcards? I'm constantly being asked. (By the way, Mother Hen, don't I owe you money?)

Also, anyone out there have a full list of books concerning local subjects? I'd love, for instance, to get ahold of the High Desert Museum book list.

I'm going to google both these subjects at the store, when I get to work.

Finally, Jake? Is there anyway you can include this blog on the BendBlogs? Jon? Could you use your influence?

Once I've got all the mechanics out of the way, I'm kind of excited about being able to concentrate on store issues, leaving the politics and commentary out of the mix.

I love my store, and I wish I could show it off better, and I'm hoping this blog will help me do that.

I'd be happy to help with this stuff, and we just so happen to be coming in today. If this comment hasn't reached you by the time we get there, I'll bring it up. The logo would be a good start, if you have an image of it floating around someplace. We'll see what we can do.

One of my favorite Bend books is "Bend, Overall", which lists cool places to hike within an hour of Bend.

Thanks for your help today, Dave.

I tried getting Bend, Overall through my distributer Baker and Taylor and couldn't track it down....

Jason,

If I hire you, how am I going to be able to talk behind your back?

You'll know when I'm bullshitting!

Duncan McGeary said...

O.K. I know you visited Dave. So how come my new sitemeter counter doesn't register you?

I must be doing something wrong.

Muahahaha! Behold my power! :)

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"

Seriously, man, how'd you do that?

Hmm ... well, I can pretend that I don't read these blogs. Or, since you're pretty comfortable with Blogspot.com, you could secretly create a new Behind-Jason's-Back blog ...

Incidentally, what did we do wrong with the Sitemeter account? That's been driving me bonkers all day.
