Mission Accomplished!!!
Site is now fully functional with all rooms rented to either antique dealers or visitors for almost the entire duration of Fall 2013 season. Although there might still be some more changes coming, these changes will likely be updates, cosmetic, or for organizational reasons. Oh yes, there will be more links to local attractions and restaurants to help with our local businesses. On the other hand, I did however added Facebook and Tripadvisor. Twitter is next as well as a more economoically viable web payment system that won’t cost us and our guests an arm and a leg. I am still deciding on whether to put a few ads or…

More updates
New photo thumbnail galleries were put in each cabin webpage. In additional additional colors, emphasis were added to make it easier to read.

Happy July 4th!
Happy July 4th, Round Top Cabins! Wish I had more bandwidth developing this website. Thusfar only a simple wireframe outline on top of WordPress Responsive theme. Bought a WordPress Kindle book the other day to read up. This technology seems pretty simple but I know that deep in my heart, it’d take a lot more than just a few drag and drops and coding. wish me luck. On the other hand, I will be at the farm enjoying a great 4th with my wife’s family. It will be hot and so we brought a baby slide park that Kristie gave us. The plan is to head over to Round Top…

Michelle and I toyed around the idea of developing our own website for Rocking Horse Retreat. We finally ended up creating a more search keyword friendly Round Top Cabins with Rocking Horse Retreat living within it.
