Bob been busy . I finished the hole bow and the snake will be next.

I know you work hard Arvin... I was just giving you a hard time.  The "Holy" bow looks ready to hunt and I'm sure the snaky bow will as well.

Next week I will be talking to the folks who hold our domain and arranging the domain to be switched

be sure to understand the seo implications of making switches at the domain registrar or creating any redirects

A subdomain is a part of a main domain that helps organize content, such as a blog or store, and is treated as a separate entity by search engines. While subdomains can be useful for specific purposes, they may not benefit from the main domain's SEO authority as effectively as subdirectories do. seranking.com ignitevisibility.com
Understanding Subdomains in SEO
What is a Subdomain?

A subdomain is a part of a larger domain name, used to organize and separate content on a website. For example, in the URL blog.example.com, "blog" is the subdomain. Subdomains can serve various purposes, such as hosting a blog, an online store, or a specific service.
How Subdomains Affect SEO

Subdomains are treated as separate entities by search engines like Google. This means:

    Independent Ranking: Each subdomain is crawled and indexed separately, which can impact its ability to rank in search results.
    Backlink Challenges: Subdomains do not automatically benefit from the backlinks of the main domain. Each subdomain needs its own SEO strategy to build authority and gain backlinks.
    User Experience: They can enhance user experience by organizing content better, making it easier for visitors to find specific information.

Pros and Cons of Using Subdomains
Pros   Cons
Allows for better organization of content   Treated as separate sites for SEO
Can target niche markets or specific user types   Requires separate SEO efforts for each subdomain
No additional cost for creating subdomains   May complicate data tracking and analysis
When to Use Subdomains

Consider using a subdomain if:

    The content is significantly different from the main site.
    You want to create a distinct user experience for a specific audience or service.
    You are managing a large organization with multiple departments or services.

In general, if the content is closely related to the main site, using a subdirectory (like example.com/blog) may be more beneficial for SEO.

Eric, you may think your aqua fortis experiment was a failure, but it's what I am looking for on a non-bow project involving osage. Saves me from having to try sourcing a fair amount of very expensive ebony!!!

Great story, JW.  Thanks for sharing.  When you said you saved the heads, I was hoping to see some Euro mounts.  But I guess feeding crippled eagles is OK too.

Now I want a Euro mount of a trout

Jw, you should cape one out, and take it to a taxidermist, and ask them to do a shoulder/gill mount. Im sure they would get a kick of it.

When I was a little kid I would always ask my great grandfather to take me out to the garage to show me the fish heads on the wall. He and my great uncle had been trolling round and round Lake Smishek in North Dakota long before and having absolutely no luck. Then on the last turn and headed back to the boat launch he nailed a huge pike. Once boated they once again turned back to toward the boat launch and again nailed another huge pike. The trolled the lake back and forth until the sun was over the horizon without another strike and still managed to bring home over 50 lbs of fish! He propped their toothsome maws open with a stick and buried the heads in a bucket full of salt where they pickled and dried. Those two ugly-as-sin horrors with their empty eye sockets and gaping jaws filled they long, gleaming white fangs hung there in the dusty cobweb filled garage for ages. I was equal parts frightened out of my mind and magnetically attracted to those northern pike heads. Probably why to this day that's the ONE species of fish I will drop everything to pursue, given the chance.
