Just another WordPress.com weblog

Today’s work …

Well, today we updated the menu portion of mirthcafe.com and I am pleased to say that it only took about an hour when I had all the images in place.  Getting the actual scans from them menu took two hours by itself, but once I got that straightened out, it was relatively smooth sailing. 

It’s by no means done in my mind.  I’d still like to add a Flash application for the gallery feature and rework the menu organization, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

Also continued to work with the Myspace.com site.  Forgot how much spam comes to the site manager, but I’m very hopeful that it can become a cost-effective avenue for marketing.  After 15 minutes I have sent out a couple of friend invites and added myself, but I believe the true rewards will come 3-6 months down the road when it begins to build some momentum.  As for Facebook, it will be interesting to see how Mirthcafe.com could utilize the network much like we plan for Myspace.com.

I also thought to myself the power of the net with a restaurants (or maybe a clubs) long wine/liquor list.  Especially for restaurants, being able to have a site where future patrons can truly learn about wine BEFORE eating at the restaurant leads to an anticipation that can only help the brand.  A wine teaching “widget” on a restaurant website could be a useful and buzzworthy tool for an owner.

The coyotes are howling, so its time to go to bed.  Take care…
