A quick note about the site and the message board
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements I'd like to say a quick "hello" to our new visitors and clear up some understandable confusion.

You do NOT have to sign up to access the main site. You can sign up if you'd like to post a comment or add a story or a link.

You DO have to sign up to use the message board and the blogs.

Here's the kicker... sadly, one sign up will not work on both areas. If you sign up at the main site (here) you will have to sign up again at the board. Access to the board will give you access to the free blogs.

We are working on finding a system that will incorporate our board with our site but it's been a long process.

So... until then, feel free to sign up at both or one as your needs see fit. We'd love to have you as members on both!

SITE UPGRADE IN PROGRESS!!
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements 02JUN06 1223am Mountain Time
Please note:

We are currently upgrading our website. You might see the site change right before your eyes or might see it go up and down.

You will also notice that the site is very VERY visually boring while this goes on - this is a necessary step to ensure the upgrade goes right.

thanks,
Jill, editor

02JUN06 0241am Mountain Time
Well, the upgrade didn't go quite as smoothly as I'd hoped. The site works, but I can't get in to do any admin functions.

It's now 241am mountain time and I'm going to bed - I'll fight with this tomorrow!

03JUN06 1248pm Mountain Time
Ok - the only remaining errors are in the admin mod - I can access the functions now, but there's still a few little tweaks to do.

Gotta' love an upgrade! ;)

Returning visitors might notice that the physical look of the site has returned to the old theme. Our new theme, for some reason, didn't work with the upgrade. It'll be looked at later but I'm not in any huge panic to fix that one.

Thanks for the patience...

Jill

Free Used Item and Coupon Swap
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements As a single parent money is often tight and we can't afford to buy our kids the latest and greatest clothes. So you've got a closet full of baby clothes but your toddler has o­nly two pairs of pants, what are you going to do? 

Visit ParentsWorld Swap, that's what!  Our new area where parents can trade clothes, toys and other items is free to use and here's how it works.

First off, you need to have created, and logged into, your free ParentsWorld account.  O­nce you've done that, go to the ParentsWorld Swap area ( click here ) and browse ads or place your own. 

No o­ne is ever allowed to charge you for the items posted.  Your o­nly cost will be shipping if you can't find what you need in your own area.  Let's face it, $20 in shipping fees is much cheaper than buying new a whole box of clothes. Some great people do offer to pay the shipping costs for you if you can't afford it - that's up to each individual.

Do you have a diaper, formula, or any other coupons that you hate to throw out because you know SOMEONE needs?  Post it here too - we've added a coupon category. Looking for coupons?  This is the place to be.  Mark the category for notification and you'll never miss a great coupon again.

Take a moment today to offer your items to someone in need or post your own message requesting things that you're short of.  Let's build up the list so that we have a database brimming with items that people can use! To go to the Swap area, click here

Looking for people to interview for an e-book
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements Have you been involved in an abusive and controlling relationship? Either as the abused or abuser. I'm interviewing both men and women who have survived an abusive relationship for an e-book I am writing. My focus is not o­n laying blame but taking the steps towards recovery and healing so that new and healthy relationships can be created. If you would like to be interviewed for this book, please contact Kimberley at langford@calcna.ab.ca. Your anonymity will be respected. I'm also interested in interviewing therapists and lawyers about this issue.

Thank you!
Kimberley Langford-Fluet

About ParentsWorld Productions
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements ParentsWorld.com

Of course, o­ne of the major o­n going projects for Parents World Productions is this site, Single Parents World. We do all of the content, graphics, layout and upkeep and get to use ourselves as guinea pigs for a lot of the CGI work!

Click Here to check out some of the great places that suggest Single Parents World.

Kananaskis G8 Summit, 2002

A short term contract position with the Federal Government of Canada for the G8 Summit held in Kananaskis Alberta June of 2002.

This involved rapid upload of official documents in French and in English in an ASP format.


Greyhound Pets Inc.

Greyhound Pets Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1985 to find homes for retired racing greyhounds.

ParentsWorld Productions are part of the team of volunteers that do daily updates of the website pictures and local information.


Clearview Industrial

Clearview Industrial had a domain name registered, but no web presence.

We did the full page and custom graphics for Clearview and are presently adding information from their contract in Russia.


Michelle Pilon, Artist

This site of breathtaking pastel art was a revamp of an existing site. The full site, including graphics, was created by us.


Candesence Inc

This Calgary Artist wanted to reach a world audience with his unique pieces of work. Working closely with the artist, we were able to create a site, graphic, register a domain name, and find a host that would meet his needs.


Queensland 172 Scouting Group

A volunteer position as media liaison with this Scout Group included a new website. Domain name, registration, hosting, design, graphics, and daily content updates are all done by ParentsWorld Productions.


CBS Electric Insulation Materials Ltd.

CBS Electric never had a web presence before. We are in the middle of creating a clean site that will provide clients access to their entire catalogue of material.
The company had already registered a domain name so the site will include hosting, and all creation (pages and graphics)


The Ultimate Fire Starter

Take two Scouters with a good idea and get them o­n the 'net.

Domain name, site design, and graphic were created by us to take their product world wide overnight.


Quality Carpentry Service

Quality wanted to put their advertising money into a website. This basic website's main purpose is to have contact information and a portfolio o­nline. We registered the domain name, found a host, and developed all aspects of the site.


Build Content

A simple yet eye catching design was needed for another affiliate run site.

Build Content wanted to take web master affiliate programs and put them all together in o­ne income creating site. We did the design, graphic, and found the affiliate programs to make this site work.


Find Someone 4 Me

The People at Find Someone 4 Me wanted a page for Affiliate Dating Programs.

We created the page, the graphics, and managed the affiliate program for the first year. The site made money from the first month o­n the net!


TWWS

TWWS (Together We WIll Succeed) was a group formed by the crowd at No-Excuses.net to make some money for their members.

TWWS registered their own domain and had a server but they needed graphic design, site layout, and copywriting for the site.


No-Excuses.net

No-Excuses.net had been o­n the web for a few years with a plain website that was getting no attention.

We got to work, designed a new site layout, new graphic, new colours and rewrote the text for the entire site.


Wild Rose Watersports Ltd

Wild Rose needed it all. A domain, a host, and an entire site with booking capabilities. ParentsWorld Productions was able to give it all to them!


Million Dollar Minute

This is a new site to the internet and our work o­n the site has involved creating the graphics, lay out, and formatting the content.

Single Mom -- The Song
Posted by: admin
Website News and Announcements Life songs, love songs, thoughtful and fun songs -- these are what circle from the life and times of Jon Michaels. The spiral began in California, winding up the rough and rocky West Coast "road tour test." Jon began by paying his dues in clubs, bands, groups and the usual fare. From there, he did a lot more than just dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. He followed that dream to Nashville in 1990 to appear o­n the popular TV show, "You Can Be a Star," where he placed second.
