The original Before You Tattoo site hadn't changed in 4 or 5 years, but buried underneath it was an experimental site we had with a black template. It made the tattoos look really sharp, but it was harder to read the articles. And although we played around with it, we never replaced the original Before You Tattoo site, which was looking really dated.

Denise and I were testing some SEO software and using the secondary site. While we were poking around, we checked the site stats and realized that not only was our buried site available to the public, half of our visitors were winding up there and probably had been for at least a year.

So, we brought the site "live." In the process, we managed to blow up our links, and wreck our page ranks. It was, to say the least, a humbling learning experience.

Then, we started to get a lot of complaints about not being able to read the tattoo articles, so we starting testing new templates.

All I can say is - shoot me now. Both Denise and I were updating from remote locations. The SEO software was not configured correctly for the templates and we had a mess on our hands.

Instead of relaxing, I spent my vacation time relearning today's SEO techniques. And in the process, we decided to blow up our original site eBook Living.

But I digress.

We finally decided on a killer template and it's not the one you see now. It will be live in the next few days. So the site will be down for about 1/2 an hour and we'll let you know when that'll happen.

We hope you like the new site, please "Contact Us" and let us know what you think.
