It Is Good To Be Busy

Well, I really have neglected my writing recently. And by that, I refer to the creative writing I do whenever I can - my time instead has been spent writing a website that has been in progress for just over 2 years.

It has been a project that started as a family site, for creating a present list for birthdays and Christmas. The idea behind it is to have one place for your list, then people can update it so that you don't get 2 of the same thing (unless that is what you wanted). It also stops you feeling cheeky/greedy asking for something expensive; you can always put it on your list, but those browsing for something to buy you can simply ignore the more expensive things.

MyPresentList.co.uk
After 2 years of work (admittedly not 2 solid years), I have got the site to a stage where everyone can join and use it. Previously, it was only available to users that I invited for testing. Now, however, it is completely live an available to all. It is both exciting and nerve-wracking, as I don't know how it will be received by Joe Bloggs & family and whether there will be unforseen issues that I have to overcome. It's all a bit of a challenge I suppose!

The invitation is an open one - go ahead and see for your self at MyPresentList.co.uk - signing up takes a few minutes and it is completely free! You can create different present lists for different events, and add presents to individual lists, or to all of them. There is still more for me to add to the site to make it a more rounded present-buying portal, so you will see changes as the site progresses. And if you want to give me some feedback, criticism, or suggestions, you are more than welcome to!
