Randsco Site Map
Site MapAgain, this is something that I've been wanting to do for some time and I believe that a site map is necessary to help those people out that have a hard time figuring out what is what on our site. I'd like to think that our menu system is easy and will work, but some people just require a site map to figure it out. So ... here you go ... a site map. :)
About the Kimlers
about usThis is where visitors can find out about Randsco and the Kimler family. Who are we? How did we come to be? What motivates us on our adventures. It's kinda like the old "meet scott and rachel" section on our PCT WebPage, but this "about us" section will be a stand-alone page.

Thank You
There aren't many folks running a b2evolution blog that don't owe this Brit some sort of "thanks" for helping them with their blog. This amazingly generous bloke is a first-class coder & is also very giving with his time. It's appropriate to kick off the *NEW* "Shout Out" section, with a post about ¥åßßå - and his "Tacky Pad" website ... (Note: Post not done yet, which is, ironically ... the story of my life!)
Okay ... wow ... how do I start? It's appropriate that my first "shout out" should go to my fellow b2evo buddy, friend and "business partner" ¥åßßå, but it's not all that easy, introducing someone you've never actually met (especially if you don't want it to sound like a eulogy). 
On the plus side, ¥åßßå is super helpful and an amazing coder (if you can keep the bottles of beer tucked out of sight). He's also pretty wicked at growing Dahlias (championship-like wicked), but that's another story. At other times, he's just plain wicked. 
Chances are, however, if you have a b2evolution blog and ever gone onto the b2evo forums, he's either helped you directly or "opened the door" so you can help yourself.
I guess it's high time to tip a hat to this bloke and his coding-spiffy, but styling-wasteland of a "tacky pad" website - Innervisions.org.uk (that's ORG dot UK, not UK dot ORG, so try to get it right). So here goes ... my tribute to ¥åßßå ... a sort of "stream-of-conscience" thing that may (or may not) change over time. You know ... how we met, what a wanker *cough* - great guy he is and a bit about how he's single-handedly battling SPAM and fighting to make b2evolution better than ever.
If you're lucky, I might even reveal his *gasp* real name, as well as other semi-embarrasing things ... all of which, I'm sure, he'll get me back at me for, in due time.
Yeah, yeah, you know the drill ... click "Read Full Story" to get the skinny on this skinny Brit (I'm gonna be totally hosed if I ever change "Read Full Story" to something else, but then again ... I like to hard-code stuff!)

Red Dirt Emporium
Randsco "Shout Outs"
Many folks have helped Randsco.com. Some donate money, some use our Photo-caption Zoom, popINFO and other scripts in a creative way, some hire Scott for CSS or XHTML coding or site design, some back-link to Randsco and still others help with website development and/or content.
This growing list of websites showcases and says "thanks" to some of those people.
FEATURED DONOR: The "Red Dirt Emporium", located in the historic "Bricktown District" of Oklahoma City, made a donation toward - and is using - Photo-caption Zoom Version 3. The Red Dirt Emporium was founded in 2007 and has a goal of introducing visitors and locals to the best that Oklahoma has to offer. They specialize in Oklahoma resources, art, music and other items that celebrate Oklahoma
Since they are largely responsible for the "Thank You" section of our sidebar and this "Shout Outs" blog, it's fitting that one of the first shouts should go to Oklahoma's Red Dirt Emporium.
What's the story?
Simple.
The Red Dirt Emporium was one of the few companies (or people) that made an unsolicited donation for their commercial usage of the Photo-caption Zoom v3 technique.
Not only was their contribution unsolicited, but they didn't require any support to get it deployed.
One day, a donation email arrived and I thought, "Wow. Cool. I really should find a way to say 'Thank You' to them (and others who've helped Randsco) ... I know I've been meaning to ... I just need to DO IT!"
So, I made this section and (slowly) have begun populating it with some of the many people and companies that have - in some way - supported or helped Randsco. It's provides a formal way of saying "Thanks" and helps to promote their website (in a Search-Engine-friendly kind of way).
To learn how Oklahoma's Red Dirt Emporium is using Photo-caption Zoom and about some of their unique products, carry on ...
Oklahoma: The State of "Red People"
Did you know that the name of "Oklahoma" comes from the Choctaw Indian words - "okla" (meaning people) and "humma" (meaning red)? Oklahoma literally means "red people". Ha ... now you know!
It's fitting that a State with such rich and diverse history should be celebrated and it's part of Red Dirt Emporium's mission. Inside the water-front store, you'll find products that are unique and which celebrate Oklahoma's heritage!
On their products details page, you'll find Photo Caption Zoom. If you hover over the picture for each item, it'll "pop" open and some of those images have a descriptive caption. 
Here's a quick run-down of some of the unique items that they carry:
- Oklahoma Dirt Shirts and Aprons
- Stick Horses
- Suffed Animals of Oklahoma
- Oklahoma Wildflower Seeds
- Prairie Gypsies Foods
- ... and more ...
Oklahoma City's Bricktown District
The Red Dirt Emporium is in the heart of Oklahoma City's Bricktown District, a rejuvinated, historic area that features live music, retail stores, restaurants, theaters, bars, Redhawks baseball team and ballpark, comedy club and bowling alley.
The Red Dirt Emporium is affiliated with Bricktown Water Taxi, a wonderful way to ride the Bricktown Canal and soak up the atmosphere and sights.
Thanks for your donation Red Dirt Emporium! I'll have to stop by if I'm ever in town!
I am always telling Yabba to donate something to you for the use of Photozoom
Anyway a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone, all the best for 2009
