More Technogeek

Some more keywords: do-it-yourself, diy, d.i.y.,

Also: see comment to first post. 'This is a posted comment from my main computer under my user name ... I'm going to check out if Anonmouse ... alright 'anonymous' comments can be done. If you post a comment you may find that you have to sign up for an account (No charge (at this time) - but I can't guarantee that corporate America won't target you in some way ... part of the price we may have to pay to have a say ...' )

So far - I can't see option for anonymous posts. Signups for accounts should be a safe proposition ... and if you do want to post a comment, highlite the underlined comments text on the relevevant post ... any reply will be listed as a new post by me.

I look forward to this blog as being 'the' forum for our customers, our prospects; people with a passion for gardening, for their landscape, for nature, for living outdoors, for working on their business - not in it (like one of my business mentors Michael Gerber so clearly identifies with), and to the future. We have big plans for Prairie Scapes. You are a big part of them.

A bit of a test ... I sometimes hate being a technogeek ...
Just did some Google searches on the new blog w/o adequate 'hits'. Knowing a bit how keywords and text work with webcrawlers for websites and that updates to various search engines may not be instant - if at all - this post is to put in a few keywords that I would like to see associated to Prairie Scapes. I will check search engines in days to come to see if they trigger the 'hits' I would like to see. For now just some of the keywords: xeriscaping, prairie, landscape, landscapes, alberta, bowden, environment, design, designs, Len Kobewka, Fern Kobewka, Tamara Baer, do it yourself, central, professional, packages, permaculture,xeriscape

The Welcome Mat / Our Mission Statement

What a way to end a year ... A new blog! A blog for Prairie Scapes - our business that has taken over almost all my energies in the last couple of years ... and which has probably been a lifetime in the making ... and will consume much more of the passions I have to offer ... and the passions of many more people who come to believe in the business.

Prairie Scapes will define a way of living.

I won't keep this first entry too wordy as I've got a lot of other tasks to get at today. I will keep updating the blog - for its intended purpose ... a bit of a soapbox to tell about the business ... a bit of a journal to spill out some of my thoughts ... and importantly as a forum for you to express your thoughts and opinions about the business and the direction it is headed.

Firstly - Prairie Scapes is a vision that is quickly coming to be realized. I understand the importance of 'keeping an ear to the tracks' and helping the business to best serve its purpose. Its purpose - will become very ... very ... clear to all who read the blog. I will start out by stating our present mission statement: Prairie Scapes provides professional landscape designs. We offer alternatives that result in attractive and environmentally landscapes. Customer service is our goal. We meet the needs of our clients and provide a rewarding work environment to our employees.

Visit our web site at www.prairiescapes.ca to learn more. I've got to get back to some of the other tasks. I look forward to learning more about this 'blogging' world and to hearing from you about thoughts - ideas - opinion.

Please do leave a comment. I will edit out only those which are detrimental to all who read this. I may tend to have disagreement with some of the thoughts - but will state so in posted replies - and may change my lines of thought with your inputs. Thanks for checking out the blog.

And as a signoff - (a line I often use with those I feel a very close allegiance to) -
Carpe Diem, Len
