There should be no reason for you to upload a 4mb photo, unless you want visitors to download them and make posters. :xyxthumbs: They'll take forever to view anyway. Even at 1280px wide, it should only be a couple of hundred kb. Windows has a built in photo editor you should use, just to...

Adding the SEO plug in helps the system rewrite your urls, which is good especially if you're writing any blog entries. So, instead of Website.com, you get Website.com or whatever. That helps you assign your keywords, and just makes the pages a bit more robot (search engine) friendly.

I use a small 3500w generator that I've had for a few years. It's camp-ground rated, we used it for that. You wouldn't want to run it in a campground all night, but it's really quiet. Not as quiet as a Honda, but it was $400, not $2000. I put it on my mobile trailer, and found that because my...

I've seen some different guys on Facebook doing some contests and such. Spring is coming (eventually here...) and I'm still working to build my client base. I was curious what, if anything, people are doing for Spring promotions to entice customers out of their Winter woodwork (for those in...

We use wordpress for the backend on a lot of different sites. Not the hosted .com, we host our own. The plug ins you need are really just determined by what you want to do, but some good ones are the picasa one for adding pics, google analytics, and some of the twitter/facebook plug ins. Again...

The mountains are nice, I could do with less snow! ;-> The barrel was one I ordered off of ebay, it came plumbed already but would have been easy, I just don't have a source for them here locally. rmagnus: yes, it would be pretty easy to secure. I can't leave it out anyway until the weather...

It worked perfectly yesterday. What I do is I hook up the hose from the water tank and leave it loose on the PW side, then I turn on the water tank valve. I'm using a short hose, like 15'. By the time I get over to the pw, water is coming out of the connection to the PW, so I know that the air...

Yep, just got it, and it's great. And, it'll gravity feed very well from that tank with just the drop from the trailer to the intake with the PW on the ground.

It might be worth a try for me then, especially since I already use the PW. I wonder if anyone has found a way to make their own foam cannon without dropping $120? Seems like a lot of dough for a couple of brass fittings and a plastic bottle.

That's what I'm sort of getting at. I did this car yesterday, and by the time I finished just pressure washing for the pre-wash, there was almost nothing left to remove with the mitt/2bucket. In this case, then, the foam would just be extra product out. I'm just trying to streamline my process...

I guess that's where I just don't see the benefit. If I'm going to use the 2 buckets anyway, and if 99% of the road stuff is off by the time I finish the initial pressure washer "pre wash", then all I'm doing it creating a bunch of foam with the same net results. Even greasy road grime comes off...

Here's my semi-redneck detailing trailer. I had originally planned on using my big 20' trailer, but too big, then looked at buying an enclosed, but then it occurred to me that I already had this trailer behind my shop, and it would be perfect. Has a little hatch type door in the front for...

Black background and white text is inherently hard to read. That's why they don't print books that way. My experience with business cards is that as long as they aren't misspelled and look good, most people don't care. They all end up in the trash anyway. Also, in 99.9% of the cases, you're...

Okay, so I'm sort of a traditional wash guy, and currently use the 2 bucket approach, which works really well for me. In my area, especially this time of year, the cars are absolutely covered in road grime, so I HAVE to hit the whole car with a pressure washer before I even touch it, just to...

Wow, never thought of that. ;-> Kidding, but it's one of those things, sometimes no matter how careful, accidents happen. It's more comfortable to not wear a seat belt, but "being careful" isn't going to keep my face out of the windshield, right? Some great ideas here. I ordered the Skechers...

Thanks, I'll look those up!

FB has been cracking down on businesses with "user" accounts, so you might bite the bullet and begin to transition your page to a like/fan page instead, it'll make your life simpler in the long run. ;->

That's actually a good idea. I ordered the Skechers, so we'll see how those work out. I can use them for other stuff around the shop/house anyway. I have to get new running shoes now, the accident yesterday put a hole in mine! ;->

I'm leaning towards these: Men's Skechers Mariner Brown FamousFootwear.com Not ST, but more protection than tennis shoes, and low cut, so not as dorky, and supposedly light weight. Maybe I'll order them and report back here! ;->

I'm looking at some different low-rise "ST boots" that won't be as heavy as traditional ones.
