Building Moxie is Huge . . . on the Internet (Full Meds Edition)
As a regular reader of this site you know it is worth the wait . . . through the slow page loads. The content is *just* that good.
I mean just type “Building Moxie” into Google — the new instant on, auto-complete returns this site to the top slot having typed only “building mo” and that’s one full slot above “building mosque at ground zero.”
And the attention has not come easy — Deleting overly flirtatious comments can be time consuming. I am surprised by how many start with words like . . . “I love your . . . resource . . . . ” And of course, while fitting — they may not always be topical . . . so they also get deleted.
*******
And then there is allllll of the *love* letters (the propositions or gifts — at this point at least one a day). These usually start with “Hi . . . webmaster (too kind) we would like to offer you . . . .”
And while they can get a little irritating, we here at Building Moxie are lovers not haters. Thanks for the attention and a little coverage below:
* From a woman named Brenda Chapman:
Hi, recently discovered your blog. Considering that I work with constructionmanagementschools.net I spend a lot of time on the Internet browsing blogs, and I must say that yours has caught my attention. Coincidentally, we recently published an article entitled (10 Essential Architects of the Twentieth Century) that I believe would draw considerable interest from your readers. If you are interested in sharing with them, then feel free to do so. Here’s the link for your convenience: (http://www.constructionmanagementschools.net/blog/2010/10-essential-architects-of-the-twentieth-century/).

Changing the Game — With NeverFade„¢ Exterior Paint At EverBank® Stadium in Jacksonville
AKRON, OHIO - Seeing the scores at Jacksonville Jaguars home football games just got easier. After five years with a fading background, scoreboards at EverBank® Stadium have a fresh coat of NeverFade„¢ exterior paint called Black Jack, making the messages and scores pop in both end zones.
Searing Florida sun bakes these scoreboards almost every day of the year, says Dave Spencer, owner of S. David & Co. Inc. Traditionally the boards are repainted black every five years because they fade away over time with the unrelenting ultraviolet ray exposure they receive daily. This year, we recommended the new NeverFade exterior paint for the project because it’s warranted to last 15 years without fading. This means the scores will stand out a decade from now just as they do today.
Both scoreboards were painted in August of 2010, over a 10-day period, by the team at S. David & Co. The crew transformed the scoreboards with nine gallons of NeverFade paint during a stadium shutdown between exhibition football games. This paint has great potential for a wide variety of exterior projects in our area from gas stations to hospitals to churches, says Spencer, a Pro-X Certified Contractor„¢. We’re quoting out a project now to paint a metal roof of a local adult community. The best part about investing in this paint for a project is that it completely resists fading, algae, fungus, stains and abrasions.
NeverFade paint, warranted to last 15 years against fading, was introduced by APV Engineered Coatings®, early in 2010. The professional exterior paint is formulated with Kynar Aquatec® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a tough, engineered thermoplastic that offers a unique balance of properties. As a result, NeverFade paint withstands harsh thermal, chemical and ultraviolet environmental conditions. In essence, it resists abrasions, restricts the growth of mold and mildew, and will not pick up dirt.
This top-of-the-line exterior paint has ultraviolet blockers and high quality pigments mixed with the fluoropolymer resin to further prevent against fading and chalking, says Thomas Venarge, president of APV Engineered Coatings out of Akron, Ohio. To show our confidence in this product, we are offering an unprecedented warranty. In the unlikely event that someone is obliged to apply the warranty, we will provide the replacement of the product and payment for job-related labor costs.
Available nationwide for use on both residential and commercial projects, NeverFade may be applied to vinyl siding, PVC, wood, aluminum siding, stucco, masonry, and fiber cement surfaces. Since each paint order is custom made, NeverFade is available in an unlimited number of colors.
S. David & Co. has been in business since 1977 and focuses on commercial painting projects throughout the southeast. For more information on Dave Spencer and his award-winning company, visit www.sdavid.co or call 904-636-7788.
Founded in Akron, Ohio in 1878, APV Engineered Coatings manufactures innovative, custom engineered products that are sold worldwide to a wide variety of industries. For more information on products and services, visit www.apvcoatings.com or call 800-772-3452.
###NeverFade paint is sold under a trademark license from ARKEMA INC. which is the owner of the KYNAR and KYNAR AQUATEC Trademarks.

who’s “we” – you know noone stalks us like you baby. no . . . seriously — thought about doing this a little more straight . . . getting a lot of really random link exchange requests & folks starting to inquire about advertising. Am wondering how other folks are dealing with that stuff. I always felt that I needed to fix my performance issues first — (there is no question I am currently overloaded) but links = gold, ads = money.
smiles — and yes I see that a lot as well, you’re with me – “I enjoy reading (your blog) and have learned lots” but my medicated brain was drawing a blank the other night.
thanks for comment and you know I would never block you — you’re too funny.

What? Someone besides ME is flirting with you? We are not amused! But I sure hope you are getting lots of free stuff sent to you. That would be nice. And the press release? I can tell you that it’s too long. I know a lot about them, and that one loses the reader’s interest long before the type and hype is done.
As to your site, will you delete my comment if I say I enjoy reading it and have learned lots? See how I left out the word “love?”
