Time to get ready for summer!

Well it is that time of the year again....schools ended, vacation is starting (maybe work for some), but most of all it is time to recharge the old batteries and start looking ahead to fall..yeah it is a way off but it's never to early to start preparing.

Let me just start by saying my name is Chuck, Troy will be posting sometimes as well, but I will be handleing most of the bloging.  I am a total novice to this, but I am here to help you out.  I will answer your questions as best I can, and if I don't have the answer I will find it for you, so don't hesitate to ask.  I will also turn you on to exciting ways to use blacklight, hopefully ways you never thought of, and if you have something to share...DO IT!

Seen somethng you like but can't find it on Blacklight.com then just ask, we may be able to get you going. 

One more thing, if you like something I am doing, let me know.  If you hate what I am doing, let me know.  Our readers and fellow blacklight enthusiasts can always reach me.  Just send me an email.

Searching on Blacklight.com improved

We've recently made improvements to the search function on our website.  It used to be to search multiple words you had to type the word "and" in between them.  Obviously most people don't search this way.  So now, when you do, you will actually get the results you are looking for.  As always, you can get different results by using quotes ("") to search and exact phrase, by using "or" to return all occurrences of two or more words, or an asterisk (*) to search part of a word.  We've also changed the search to help with misspellings and word variations.   All of this should lead to better searching and finding the product you want.  We're also looking into adding features to narrow the search by category and price.  Let us know if you have any  further suggestions.

Want to be an Author here?

If commenting to current posts isn't enough for you and you would like to be an author here at the Blacklight Blog, send me an email with why you would like to add to our Blacklight community.  I'll in turn send you an email with how you can sign up to be an author.  We're looking everyone, scholars, party-goers, teachers, students, techies, writers, down-and-outers, hippies, you name it we want it.  Come blog with us and light the night with black.

Saturday

Well here it is on a Saturday and I'm just trying to get some extra things done to make our customer experience exceptional.

We recently moved into our new warehouse and are working on getting everything squared away for the upcoming back-to-school, Halloween, and Christmas seasons.  Look for many changes to our website (including an easier to use and find search feature), customer service, product-line, and prices.  We want to make Blacklight.com and the blacklight experience more interactive.  You may have already noticed our site is super-fast compared to others and the easier more relevant navigation.  We believe in making it easy for our customers.  That means a dedicated T1 line for our site so that the pages and pictures load as fast as your computer can handle it. 

So, we are putting in extra time on Saturdays getting your orders out to the Post Office or ready for UPS on Monday, to make sure you get your items as fast as possible.  Please let us know how we're doing.  Give any suggestions that come to mind.  We look forward to reading all the comments.

Make sure you check out one of the posters we've printed, the Sunset Bay Ship.  Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do the vivid coloring justice.  It is selling like mad already

Here's the link:

Thanks and have an enjoyable weekend.
