I use the HTP1212 and granted, it looks huge, but if you keep it trimmed it does very well..... just my 2 cents

I use Paypal, and have the business account thru them. I am also setting up an account thru ProPay in the next month or so. I was checking into the virtual terminal thru paypal, but not sure how it worked.... so I stick with what I know...lol

I have used the sexy as sin and its fantastic. has an excellent cold and hot throw.. so far thats the only other one I have used.

good job!! site looks awsome

thanx for the tip on DirecWav. I was looking into that due to the fact that the area I live in does not offer cable or dsl as of yet.... and I really need it.... but guess I will just suffer with dial up for now :embarasse

The only thing that I can think of is maybe you have dust reflecting off of your flash. Try taking the pic again with good background lighting and turning off your flash..... not sure if it will work, but its worth a shot.

email me at info@appalachianscentsations.com I dont list the aromatherepy scents on my site, but I have them...

I highly recommend DIYeStores.... I have my site thru them and the customer service is fantastic.. Lots of excellent websets to choose from. Just my 2 cents:D I have the link to them on my site in the links page

I have the business account thru PayPal, and the fee's are not that bad. I had a 65.00 order this weekend and the fee was less than $2.50. It is really nice to be able to accept CC's online. As my business advances I will probably also get a merchant account. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth

Candle Guy, I tried going to your site but it says site not found...I wanna see, I wanna see!

It shoud be working now..... I found out that the DIY server went down for a few hours yesterday...... but just in case, here is the link

www.appalachianscentsations.com

there is a very small amount of coding, but they give you all of the ones you need... basically if you want to put extra graphics and things in.... you should take a look at some of the sites..... clik on my link at the bottom, then go to my links page..... there is a DIY link there...

How long till ya can start working on your site after you sign up at DIY??

Patricia

Yes CandleGuy I was referring to you - 3 weeks seems good to me. Was it hard to do?

its easy if you take it in the steps that they give you. If you jump around then it tends to get overwhelming... take it from me...lol... I think I put a little over 40 hours in it total, but that was from start to finish...

WVcandleguy

Your site looks real nice!!!

thank you very much.. still have just a little tweaking, but over all its ready.... again, thanx for takin a look

I also signed up thru DIY eStores, and I have to say, I am nothing but pleased with what I have gotten so far. The customer service is top notch.. while your building your store, if you run into a snag, you usually get a reply within 15 minutes on the help forum. I would HIGHLY recommend them. If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line.. I will answer what I can

I agree with the other 2 posts, its probably gonna be alot less stressful to just melt it back down. If not, its alot of trying to fish the wick up thru, and it may or may not cooperate... frustrating, but unfortunately it happens:)

How long have you been working on your web site?

if you are directing that to me, I have been building my site for a little over 3 weeks now.... if not directed at me..... oooops

Thanks to everyone. I am going to go with DIY. Becky i did use your name. So I think that you get one month for free.

I hope i can get this done in a timely fashion. I know nothing about this so this will be a big challange.

I will post the site when i get it done.

KAty

If ya get in a snag, give me a shout..... I just got done with all mine, so I may be able to talk ya thru anything that goes wrong..... if not the help forum is awsome

I use DIYestores and would highly recommend them! They include a full e-commerce package for $20 a month. Lots of people from here have gone over to them, as well. PM me if you want the site addy.

DITTO...... I just got my site up and running..... customer service is FANTASTIC, and the websets are very easy to work with.... I give a definately thumbs up

2 posts, pure genius.

send her an email or PM and see if she will send you a working link:)

I gotta ask...... do you all sew a pouch in the bandana? If not, can anyone post some basic instructions on how to make em?

:wave:Hi and welcome

Wow.......I sure am glad to see the answers so far to this post. I'm sure I will get slammed again, but this subject was brought up awhile back, and I asked my cousin (who is also a fire chief in a small town) about the safety of firestarters. I asked about the safety of the pinecone firestarters and he said BIG NO NO, don't do them!! The creosote builds up in your chimney VERY quickly and sticks to the sides, making it very dangerous. Now I realize (as was pointed out rather rudely) than ANY candle or ANY fire requires common sense and "using them wisely". According to MORE THAN ONE fire chief, there IS no safe way or "using wisely" way to use them, since you don't KNOW how much build up is up in the chimney! They convinced me not to use them at all. I then asked about the sawdust mix with wax (after all, I figured, hey, it's wood) and was told these would be SLIGHTLY better IF I insisted on using them at all, but no more than one a week, and ONLY if the chimney was checked regularly. Instead of taking any chances, I've only made them for using on campfires when we go camping. Altho pretty.....who really wants to take the chance, after talking to several fire chiefs, I don't. Please don't shoot the messenger.

Having been a fireman for well over 17 years, I dont always agree with the ol timer fire chief's. The amount of wax and wood chips or whatever you use is too small of a quantity to cause you too much trouble. Granted, you have to keep your chimney's clean, but the start wont cause that much of a buildup on shortterm use. Almost all of the residue will burn up within a short period of time.... I do agree tho, use common sense... and you should be ok... and fortunately, my aim aint what it used to be..... so the messenger is safe

I live in NY. I have checked out a couple different sites but the prices seem to be more. I will check it out!

unfortunately shipping is a killer nowadays... Natures garden is in OH...but its still a little up there... you may also want to check out WHOLESALE SUPPLIES PLUS... they seem to have good prices and decent shipping.... anyway... these should get ya goin in the right direction
