Dear {FIRST_NAME},
Over the years I’ve tried my hand at do-it-yourself projects
with mixed results.
A few years ago I was getting ready to leave for a 2,100-mile trip.
The guy at the oil change place told me I should have my distributor cap changed sometime soon.
Thinking that I could save myself some money, I decided to try it myself.
I bought a distributor
cap (along with a new rotor inside it) that day and replaced the
old. Now my car wouldn't start.
Spark-plug wires
are connected to the distributor cap and you have to put them
into the right sequence. I could never
find the right progression, so there my car sat, dead as a doornail.
After working
most of the day, I finally called my regular mechanic
and practically begged him to send someone to help me.
He sent out Kurt.
Because of his
skill and experience, Kurt got my car started within a half hour.
And he discovered my alternator belt had a big chunk missing out
of it. If Kurt hadn't been diligent, I'm sure the belt wouldn't
have lasted long on the highway the next day, because
it snapped on my trip back from the auto parts store.
I learned my
lesson about when to be a do-it-yourselfer and when to trust a
professional.
This past year
we have redesigned several web sites that were originally created
by do-it-yourselfers. It ’s
okay to be a do-it-yourself web designer if your web site isn't
going to be an integral part of your marketing strategy. But if
it is, using a professional could be one of your best investments.
We have a great
group of skilled folks who can gather around you to help build
a great new web site.
Give us a call
at 720-922-3124 and ask for Matt to talk about your web site needs.
While you’re at it, he’d be glad to talk
with you also about search engine marketing and advanced programming
on your site.

In search engine optimization, content is king and linking is queen.
Content certainly is important to getting visitors to your site because
they are looking for information.
You can get content
in a variety of ways. In the Web 2.0 world of today, user-generated
content is the first way to do such a thing. Another way is to
write it yourself or have someone right it for you. And yet another
way is to get it free articles from a variety of directories ...

JUST
FOR GRINS
UPS Pilot Complaints and The Resolutions
After
every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe
sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the
form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here
are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked
with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance
engineers.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
