Hook, Line & Thinker newsletter, published by Troutdream Graphics - Vol. 1, No. 10 - January, 2003

Happy New Year! I hope this is the start of a terrific year for you and your business.

As some of you know, in my "other life" I'm a musician, so this month I decided to blend my two favorite subjects to deliver my constant message that a well-designed website is an asset to almost any business.

I present to you:

The Under Construction Blues

My website’s a disaster
Total disrepair
Images are missing
And the links they go nowhere

Chorus:
I got the blues
Bad website news
My site’s a snooze
I got the under construction blues

Searched high and low on Google
My site was ignored
I typed in the URL
And I got 404’ed

I got the blues...

Analyzed my stats
The numbers they were low
Visitors keep trying but
The site comes up too slow

I got the blues...

My icons are flashing
Can’t read the words
Applets are crashing
And the background’s for the birds

I got the blues...

Called TroutDream Graphics
Made a new plan
Business is rolling in
Success is in the can

No more blues
Get rave reviews
I can’t lose
No more under construction blues
