I also aded a new info for beginners page.

Bumpity Bump. I was thinking of adding a seller review page to the site. 

[Michaelofvancouver]

Alright I've added a seller review page to the site, as well as a link to Crystals selling advertisement in this forum.

If you have any detailed reviews for any of the following companies, please let me know.

 

-Antscanada

-Tar heel ants

-Crystal

-Byformica

-the european Antstore

I'm currently writing a review for Crystal and Tarheelants.

 

I will also be compiling all my posts in my journal into one text, and I'll put that onto my website soon as well.

I have a feeling I'll be really busy towards the end of the school year, so might as well get more work done now.

Nice website! It looks like you've put a lot of work into it :-)

Thanks!

Just wondering, have you bought from any of the sellers I mentioned?

[Michaelofvancouver]

Phew! I added my entire Camponotus modoc journal, as well as reviews for THA and Crystal.

I will add my old Lasius journal as well as any forum member reviews I get on Thursday. I need a break LOL.  :lazy:

Wow, yeah Chromerust is right. The website looks great! I may copy you, and make a Google site, just not specifically for ant keeping, but instead revolving more around Californian ants only.

LOL it's OK, my teacher always said that being copied is a sign of respect.

If you do make a site, I could definitely add a link to yours.

 

Anyways, do you happen to have bought products from any of the sellers I listed?

[Gregory2455]

No, I do no really buy completed nests, usually only ingredients/parts to make them.

Oh, that's OK.

I just realized the site turns three years old next month! According to Google Analytics, since October 31, the site has gotten 4,500 views, with 1000 different users from 61 different countries!

 

The site has really grown so much since the launch.

 

I will be adding my closed Lasius journal to the site soon, along with as many reviews from forum members as possible.

[Michaelofvancouver]

Added Chromerusts ant food formula, and also updated my journal on the site.

Also made a few edits and grammarchecks.

[Michaelofvancouver]

Added Crystals bead container formicarium guide, as well as a review of antscanada.

[Michaelofvancouver]

Felt like sharing the site's progress since I added tracking in November of 2013.

 

Here's all the locations where my site has been viewed:

Sorry for the stagnation recently, the site will soon be updated with local guides, starting with one for the Lower Mainland. As for my personal ants, both of my colonies are somewhat stuck in development, with enough brood for the company to survive but barely enough for it to grow. My Formica podzolica colony has 4 workers and 2 larvae, and my Camponotus colony has 10 workers, a small pile of small larvae and 2 larger larvae.
