finally the US site!

[andream]

It's nearly complete just a few more things to put in a few i's to dot and t's to cross and a couple of very special promotions for our oh so patient US and international users.  You can click this link to visit DeskDemon-US http://us.deskdemon.com as you can see a very different look and feel which makes us doubly happy because we've got two distinct sites with valuable information and content.  Enjoy and let us know what you think about the US or UK sites.  Feel free to post here or PM me with any issues you may find!

We particularly invite you to "enter the Matrix" to check out some of the leading content in the industry provided by names you'll know very well.  In addition as the rest of the content goes in this week look for a VERY special contest ( can it GET more special than Free Microsoft Office Certifications?!  Yep it can!   Watch the home page for an announcement of a very special offering which has to do with Administrative Professionals Week...among other things you've been waiting for!
We'll be finishing up BreakTime University, the New US Professional Lifestyle Section and bringing you a VERY special Job Search provider in the coming days. But we wanted you to have a sneak peak at our nearly finished baby

Thanks for your patience and ongoing support of us all.

Andrea and the DeskDemon Team.

A small glitch or 2 I found...  When filling out the scholarship application for the MOS training, the tab order for the form is convuluted.  Then when I get to the State option, there is no AL for Alabama.  Did we cut off from the Union again, and I didn't know?

Looks great otherwise.  And I love the content!

Looks all wide eyed and innocent and stuff; whacks a techie up aside his head....WHAP! Wazza matter wid you son,,,, No Alabama?! sorry, I'll find your entry personally and fill it in for you the boys will be in tomorrow and the tab order thang,,, my fault, Techies don't tend to think of things like that! I shoulda mentioned it.  In the meantime lemme go explain again that Alabama is the home of that other Birmingham,,, the one that's NOT a 4 hour drive from the DD offices...the one that's the home of really good BBQ! A thousand pardons are begged of you Ma'am.  Now FedEx BBQ, thankyouverymuch....

There was no "WA" for Washington, either. Yep, there's a Washington state as well as Washington, DC, the US Capitol!
I just put the "WA" next to the city when I filled it out. Hope that works!

[andream]

 We're still working out the tiny glitches and its helpful stuff like this that makes the job go faster, so Thanks again all for the input and feedback. WE'l keep fixing things as you bring them up.....or as we find them ourselves, as you can tell there is MASSIVE amounts of content to go thru to get it all perfect and just about the time we do it will be time to change it all again and add fresh stuff YAY!
Now I've gotta go find Washington,,  I bet we're missing alaska and hawaii too.......

Andrea

[claudiamag]

You also missed California

[andream]

Okay I Am personally going to give a lesson on the FIFTY states of the US, those of you applying for the scholarships don't worry weve flagged everything until it's fixed and we'll contact yu by e-mail to get any missing information so your scholarship application won't get tossed into the "incomplete" pile.

Those of you wondering what we're talking about can check out the skill matrix on the US home page.

:sigh:

Back to work! And I was gonna take the morning off too!

LOL  Andrea, you gave me a much needed laugh this morning.  At least AL was left out with some good company.  I can almost understand folks forgetting AL, but CA??  Come on, it's only like almost the entire western coast of the US.  Oh well... guess we should cut the boys some slack considering all the content that they had to work with.  And Andrea, I was surprised to see Alaska was included, while AL was not.  Guess they've heard of it more or were worried about forgetting it.

As for the BBQ.... where would you like it delivered?  You know hubby would say you're nuts, 'cause he likes nothing better than good ol' SC BBQ, and here you go stating that AL has great BBQ.  I personally agree with you, but can't let him find out.

Great job on the site, even with these 'slight' errors.

Offerings of BBQ, SC, AL or otherwise,  Flash Frozen of course can be sent via FedEx to the DeskDemon offices at 126 haliburton Road, Twickenham, UK tw1 1ph

Andrea, who will now spend the rest of the week listening intently for the sound of Buzz the fedEx man,......MY PACKAGE MY PACKAGE,,, Back off Techie boys,,,,,I MEAN it,,, no one gets hurt if you just give me the package...

Oh Sorry.  Can you tell I have a BBQ Craving? Even after nearly three years in London, it's the one thing I miss!

[mathwhizchick]

Actually, for my preference, NC has the best BBQ, but I prefer a vinegary sauce.

The one exception, of course, is DREAMLAND RIBS, from Tuscaloosa, AL.  Probably the ONLY thing I really miss from living in AL (Sorry, CG, I am southern born and raised, but just never enjoyed living down there....)

[mathwhizchick]

They forgot Ohio as well.  I mean, I know we're pretty mid-west/corn fed/white bread/middle of the road, but come on!!!

This is all that I've been able to find...thanks again for all the hard work, we really do appreciate it.
