Been a Long Time!

Hi everyone.  I just wanted to give you all a brief update with what is going on at The Rabbit & Cavy Directory:

Originally I was going to turn this website into a database driven site but my plans have changed.

I purchased a domain http://www.rabbitbreeder.net/  just the other day, and intend to make that into a large rabbit breeder resource website.  I wanted the dot com site but some company owns it for no good reason other than to squeeze a lot of money out of someone who wants it..and I don’t want it bad enough, esp when dot net is available!

I am planning to have all our usual rabbit breeder listings, similar to how I’ve got them set up now, just in a database, plus I am planning lots of new features such as article segments, rabbit show segments/clubs, and also some forums-both public, and private areas for members.

Still in the planning stage, but making good progress.  I’ve got a wheelbarrow load of new software and books to read through - some of the programming languages and such are new to me and I’m trying to familiarize myself with at least the basics before I just jump in.

I am truly sorry to those people who’ve been emailing me asking for new listings and changes.  I’ve got a couple planned to do, but for the most part, I’m not going to update or add to this existing website or it will take away from my work on the other one.

I think the new website will better serve our rabbit breeders community much better than the other, especially since members will be able to change and update their own listing as they see fit, plus there will be many useful segments that all have to do with rabbit breeders/breeding!

Please check back later for more updates.  I can’t really put a timeline on this project because I have to add several personal and ongoing tasks to my available time- (graduating teen, two other active teens, rabbit shows, college visits, never-ending stateleague soccer and of course rabbit and horse chores…if I didn’t have to work or sleep it would be great!) 

Again, thanks for your patience.

ps…I’ll be looking for some help with this project when I get closer to finishing.  Mods for the forum areas, experienced breeders for our ‘ask questions’ area for new breeders, plus other stuff as it comes to mind.  Please email me if you think you can lend a hand!  racefan24@verizon.net
