Glo Quips Also Known As DE Hardit Press Web Site

While trying to find the official web site for Glo Quips also known as DE Hardit Press, we were not able to find a site for the local paper. Seems a little strange in this day and age, especially when news papers all across the country are dying a slow death due to the Internet. We wanted to code them in to our new search engine as we noticed they were not coming up in our tests. The more we dug, the more we have come to the conclusion that Glo Quips does not have an on line presence at this time. We hope that changes for their sake soon. A web site does take a lot of work, no question about it. Especially when reporting news. You not only have to contend with the press part of your business, you also have to contend with the web side as well and the pages have to be changed weekly.

You also do not want to report your entire paper on line for free either as that would just kill your paper business. It's also tough to put advertisers on your site as opposed to putting them in your paper. It's a tough call either way. I prefer an on line presence as this is where everyone is looking these days.

Gloucester VA, Antique Car Show Every Weekend




Every weekend there is an antique car show here in Gloucester. It's in the parking lot where the main Library is on Main Street, across from the DAV thrift shop. Everyone is welcome and there are no fees to see the vehicles. There is only a very small fee to enter in your own antique or classic car into the show. It's a fun time. I will be putting together a slide show very soon of one of these shows so you can get a much better idea of what a great event this is each week. I'll also have more details on the next posting.

  Some really cool antique cars can be found on display here.  Restaurants are located in the plaza here so if you do get hungry, it's a non issue.  Gloucester, VA Links and News.  GVLN Website.
