Banana Florist: First week recap
Our first week has been a heckuva ride. To recap: Hours prior to the launch of the main Banana Florist site, we decided it high time to experiment with Moveable Type formatting, which ended with a whitewashed screen in place of this blog.
Then, one day later, after we'd been live for some 24 hours, Seth Godin linked to us. (We built BF on the principles of the Purple Cow, so this attention proved particularly wonderful and gratifying.) Seth's link resulted in a lot of folks getting well acquainted with the ****Head from Buckhead, Mom Likes Me Best and -- of course -- the Broquet, right out of the gate.
Of course, we ran into some unexpected twists, but that's just entrepreneurialalisimo. Our crack team of designers smoothed out some minor kinks, and we're looking darn good.
Thanks to every one who visited our main site this week, and to all our new friends who took the time to read and comment in this space.

Glad to hear yall having a terrific launch with Seth's influence. Hopefully one day I will be good enough to get his "word".
One thought, link your logo on this blog to the Banana Florist Website, I am having trouble navigating to your store on this blog.
Keep on rocking, terrific writing you go there.

Hi Mark:
Thanks for stopping by. We agree that we need a link back to the main site.
Moveable Type is about as user-friendly as a peevish badger. We're looking to switch to WordPress soon, and that link will be the first thing we take care of.
