I have taken pictures of 95 babies so far in the last two days. :P I still have a couple more to do and will be doing updates shortly. Patience everyone there are lots of Boas here and I am afraid more still coming. I will get pictures posted as quickly as possible. I need to move some of these babies. They are eating me out of house and home! :-/
This is one of my favorites! I have been working on a connected pattern Boa for a while. This one is obviously a lovely little Pastel to boot!

Looks good, i cant wait to see all of them. Now, only if we could see the Boa Black Hole. ;D ;D
Jeff,
If you used SQL Server, it'd be a snap to update your website. All you would do is put in the apropriate info in a SQL table and your website would update itself. Very VERY big time saver.

I don't think so. I already use a custom built PHP system that automatically inserts my PayPal email address and the description of the individual animal posted for sale in PayPal's format so I don't have to enter all that manually any more. I don't have to build the individual pages any more and I do all my updates from any computer that is connected to the WWW. I hired a legit geek, since I am only a Wanna-be, to write the PHP code for me using my design and format. It wasn't cheap but well worth the time savings. You have to understand, I have to take individual pictures of each animal that is for sale. I have to shrink those pictures down so they are not the pig files they are when I first take the pictures. I also have to crop them down so the fill the entire available width. Those pictures have to meet my critical eye approval. Then and only then are the photos ready. Then I have to make each title graphic for each page or type of animal that is for sale. I also have to make the micro graphic for each type of animal that is for sale. Then I have to go around with my list and decide how much each animal should be priced at. This is the most difficult part for me. I want to show off but I don't really want to sell the animals that I'd rather keep for myself. So I tend to price those animals I would rather keep way way too high. I like to keep a lot. I am after all the "Keeper of the Boa Black Hole". Since I have this horrible problem of so many babies I have a ton of work to do to get them uploaded to the site. Hew. That was a strain but back to it. I've taken enough pictures for a while. About 135 today and yesterday. I better go juggle some more rats.
So using SQL Server or any other there is a certain amount of time to get everything done. SQL Server would not take care of the PayPal stuff for me either. I'll stick to the custom PHP thing for now.
Oh no! I gotta print some labels quick before the FedEx Ground guy get here!

Sounds like you know exactly what you are doing, which is a good thing. I'm trying to learn PHP right now, but i find myself visiting this forum more than reading the book, lol. Cant wait to see the updates. ;D
