Many of us could benefit from having our own Web sites, whether to sell our inventory or simply post pics of our collections. Contributing Writer Edith Reynolds spent some time creating two Web sites for her bookstore and online sales ventures. In this issue, she shares her experiences.

Edith used Valueweb, a service charging $49.99 per month, and Bigstep, a free Web hosting service. I was amazed at the ease-of-use and features offered by Bigstep, considering it is free. If you are considering jumping into Cyberspace with a site of your own, be sure and read Edith's article. (You might want to print it out so it's easier to read and you can refer to it when needed.)

Since starting AuctionBytes.com last fall, David and I have met some very knowledgeable people online and offline. We have been lucky enough to attract some very talented writers and editors. If you are interested in learning more about them, you can visit our "authors page" at http://www.auctionbytes.com/Write_For_Us/WriterBios/writerbios.html. We are always looking for story ideas and new writers - email me at ina@auctionbytes.com.

I was perusing a copy of House & Garden magazine at the beauty parlor on Thursday evening. I came across an article about making artwork out of your own memorabilia. I had never thought of my momentos as memorabilia - what an interesting concept. Concert tickets, photos, earring you wore on your Wedding day and other "souvenirs" can be artfully arranged in shadow boxes for display, or placed in scrapbooks. See the May 2000 issue of House & Garden for ideas and photos of sample memorabilia shadow boxes.

AuctionBytes.com is now able to say, "as seen on the Today show"! Keep an eye on our Web site for photos - coming soon! :)
