An interesting thing to note about Weebly is, that while it is very easy to use, it requires extensive MANUAL customization for search engine optimization (SEO). I don't think I would have used it, had I not been teaching it. If you are a small business, whether dog breeder, or dog product, you might want to look into the level of work required to optimize your Web site, with or without a domain name, to secure search engine rankings BEFORE you go ahead and use it. I can't imagine most small business owners having the time or knowledge to actually go to all that trouble. Google, for example, will DROP your site significantly if you don't do the customizations.
The old Web (Wordpress Blog) proved to be a poor choice for a Web site. Most people are only interested in the pictures and information about either a new Malamute, or their current Malamute. I had to learn Wordpress to teach it - but now that I'm teaching something else (Weebly) - I decided to build a functioning Web again. This entire site is built in Weebly. It has a Blog (this page) and I will likely update it with small bits of information as needed, like once a month. Permanent base page is ALWAYS http://slushpuppy.50webs.com/ and I have a nice Flash-based file with all the dogs in it if you like that sort of thing.

I really liked your blog. My name is Vince Stead, and I wrote a book about Alaskan Malamute's called “How to Understand and Train a Alaskan Malamute Puppy or Dog with Good Behavior

the Cyberc@tBy trade I have been a journalist, photo technician, photographer, and art director. For the past 15 years however I've worked in media and design education. I still love to shoot portrait photographs of Alaskan Malamutes, along with action and other types of pictures. Archives
