After a long, long time of silence I have decided to pickup ElvisFind.com where I left off two years ago. I still believe in this website and I intend to bring it back to it's previous, active and useful state. A lot of work needs to be done, however. So I need your help!
So far 13 people have been so kind to offer their help:
- Anne Hooton;
- Jan Ward;
- Jean Ann Evans;
- Ray;
- Joseph Krein;
- Barbara Rogers;
- Ann Sunderland;
- Karoliina Keranen;
- Marc Bruneau;
- Vali Greceanu;
- Ginger Lennon;
- Sue Butler;
- Barbara Taylor.
Thanks everyone!
1. "Bringing It Back"
As said, I haven't paid much attention to ElvisFind in the last couple of years. You know how it is, busy with life and other things ;) I have switched jobs a couple of times, started my own fulltime Internet business (which is doing fine, but it's hard work), got married, am expecting our first child, try to write/make music, and much more. Unfortunately ElvisFind.com suffered from all those activities.
BUT... I am once again picking up the website. I still believe in ElvisFind.com, I value the content and your membership and the reputation of 'our' website and intend to bring it back to life. Many ideas and concepts have passed my mind the last couple of years, and now it is time to start once again.
2. "Scratch my back"
I need your help! In order to restore ElvisFind.com to it's previous glory, a lot needs to be done. For instance: Cleaning up all content. Adding new content. Rebuilding the website to eliminate old technology. Add new features including current trends like twitter, facebook, etc. Rebuilding of back-end components to automate content. A fresh redesign. Cleaning up and maintaining the forum. More value for customers. And more.. much more. With all that is going on in my life, I cannot do this alone. So:
I would like to create a 'team' of fans, long-time ElvisFind.com users, webmasters and enthousiasts to work together. ElvisFind.com has been my solo project for 11 years now, and I think it's time to team up. Would you like to help clean up, rebuild, redesign, extend and improve ElvisFind.com, please let me know. We'll have some virtual team meetings, share some virtual pizza, split up work and create a little online family. Send me an e-mail if you are interested. No strings attached.
In short; please donate/participate in ElvisFind.com. If you can spare some time, let me know. If you don't have the time and choose to support me financially, I will use your funds to outsource activities for the website. Besides, 10% of all donations will go to The Association for International Cancer Research. Click here to donate via paypal. Click on the button below to donate a small amount.
3. "Clean up your own backyard"
The first thing I would like to ask you is if you are inclined to check your account and/or website information on ElvisFind.com. You can log in to ElvisFind (if you remember your password, otherwise please click here). Please check your personal information, your e-mail preferences and/or your website details (if you have a website listed). If I can assemble a team we will start cleaning up accounts and website listings (along with comments, reviews and votes) anyway. But any help is appreciated.
4. "Where Do I Go From Here"
Any thoughts, suggestions, feedback, tips, ideas and complaints are more than welcome. Again, ElvisFind.com has been in my life for 15 years now and I hate to see it's flame slowly burn out.
5. "Follow That Dream"...
There are other ways you can use to let me know you still care about ElvisFind.com. Drop me an e-mail via the contact form, post something in the forum or use the new media. ElvisFind.com is also on Twitter now, so you can follow us if you want.
Many thanks for reading,
Sincerely,
Wouter Broekman
Founder ElvisFind.com
