Oooooops!

I should probably stick to what I know, board games, darts and billiards!

You see I was having the time of my life creating this web site for our company The Games Squad. In fact I became a wizard at adding pages, images, great headlines and products. I may have even patted myself on the back that I would no longer need expert advise or assistance.

It all looked so good until I went back onto my eBay store and discovered that because I had change the URL address for the Web Store I had unwittingly lost my eBay template. So, how do I fix this little problem? You know what I haven't got the foggiest clue. So this little newbie to the world of www is in a little bit of a pickle.

I am sitting at the table, my partner is on the other side, we are both on our computers doing our thing, and I seriously don't have the heart to tell him I have stuffed up! He is looking at video blogs about Elon Musk and Teslar, SpaceX and solar energy. I, on the other hand, wish that someone would actually "Beam me up!"

However, my web store does looks great, but because it is soooooo brand new no one will know that I am up here until google casts out it's fishing net and hooks me up. Look, the store concept is great, an on-line store for indoor games, everything you can imagine from board games, darts and accessories, cuesports and so much more. We did have a web store a while ago, but the platform Magento was a beastly disaster and so very costly. We spent thousand keeping the beast afloat and then with much regret turned off the ventilator.

This store I created through WIX, easy peasy! The eBay store on the other hand, Ooooooop! This store has great web images thanks to my photographer partner and the description page, well they are thanks to me. The eBay description page however looks like someone has taken out the adult and let the quiet child come into play. You know the one, the quiet child who is in your hallway covering your white walls with crayon, lots of crayon, disaster!

That's why you should always keep the quiet child in site. Did I tell you I was a quiet child once, and it wasn't white walls but very expansive wall paper and it wasn't even my parents home. I don't think we were invited back again, well not that I can remember which is probably a good thing.

Now to build up the courage to tell my partner about the eBay store, our only means of income. Now, I think is a good time to have that quiet little glass of wine.

Anyway, welcome to The Games Squad. I know you are going to love this store, and the prices are cheaper than our eBay store because we are not calculating in the eBay fees. Now where did I hide that bottle of wine or two?
