Has anyone seen an aircraft carrier around here?

Hey - hola - HI. I haven't blogged in a while and I have a damn good reason for it --- we have been working ferociously on the site and have now launched. HOLLER! <www.stylous.com>

Working on the site has been somewhat of a roller coaster (I won't say emotional roller coaster because that would make me sound too emotional), but a roller coaster nonetheless.

The first major issue that we had was that we were getting rejected from several affiliate programs, such as Piperlime, Bluefly and then Zappos. This was scary because that was kinda sorta the whole premise of the silly little money-making bit of the business. Just a minor thing, you know. However, we have overcome that to some extent and it is no longer a threat (I hope).

The second minor catastrophe was that the framework that the site is based on (Cappuccino) was a complete disaster in Internet Explorer -- and that is a HUGE deal because most lame Americans still use IE. Rich and Steve are now working on completely re-writing a new homemade framework based on Javascript called Domino (don't worry I don't really know what that means either).

Anyhoo --- things are going much better. We launched (quietly & slowly) yesterday and are getting a plethora of users. Now if we can just figure out how to pay rent.....
