AYREshaq REPORT If it tain't easy I ain't using it



Welcome back to the AyreShaq. I went to the internet to fetch my email and saw a junk mail program for customized email backgrounds. Okay being sorta kountry dumb I downloaded it. It was safe enuff but the blooming thing was so hard to use, I uninstalled it faster than I installed it. Which brings me again to the Hazzard County Knytes/BlackSheep Vintage Aviation Association's web site. Currently stalled at www.ayrewolffm.com until I find a web site developer to build it. That's just the point here. If I am like you, the harder a web site is to navigate much less load up and use the less I will return to it. If something for more 411 is needed and a registration is needed and I get 3 tries, if on that 3rd try, I cain't get it up I quit. Heck I give up on a poop after 5 minutes. When our web site is complete, and all it will be as easy to work as a Corsair. The streaming will be set up to where even the slowest web access connection will make it work, and enjoy. The membership registration page will be easy to use and without those little boxes with those hard to read numbers and letters in it. The blog and chat sections will be easy to use. And most of all you won't have to spend hours trying to download more software just to use our site. The photos will be clear and the best part it'll be nearly goof proof. We want our site to be as easy for a 50 year old vintage aviation enthusiast or retired military aviator to use, as it is for an 18 year old going there to research the latest military history information. The question is, are we as a society so much in a gall dang hurry to get things to market or online that we forget the same things we ourselves have trouble using? In closing need to say to many, if ya'll build a web site that you want me to visit, make it easy to use or I wont be back, plus your site will become a case-n-point for one of my blogs. Here on my final. I sent a PDF to my associate at KPIF in Pocatello, containing the ad rates for OOIDA's LandLine Magazine. He wasted no time in getting back to me. Can you dig OOIDA, wants nearly $20,000.00 or better for a good full page print ad? Overdrive wants nearly $30,000.00 I told Brian at KPIF that if we charged half of that or less locally, per spot we'd make enuff just off the advertising with our Highway Hooker TV show to buy the KPIF TV station. I guess I made my point. Nothing like green in the morning to get ones blood pumping huh?
