Greetings!
December
was
another exciting month for LuckyDuck:
New services; New friends; New
stories and New clients!
We have web sites in progress and web sites pending for
the New Year!
Remember the "fabulous new restaurant" I mentioned
last month? The mystery continues, but you'll be
pleased to hear progress brings us closer to its
Grand Opening .
. .
Grand in Atmosphere and Grand in Flavour thanks to
its well-seasoned Chef and knowledgeable Sommelier
who's expert in the world of wine.
For now, that's all we can say ... but we'll keep you
posted!
Please visit our January web site
- check out our this
month's winter photos our new LuckyPal and our brand new page - Lucky's
Small Business Directory!

Testimonial from internationally acclaimed life coach
LuckyDuck delivers php "poetry!"
Lucky's Allan Malinen was called on recently to add
php server side scripting to an already
existing
web site for Lloyd Williams. The author,
international
speaker and workshop leader for more than 50 top
financial service firms is also a coach for a select
group
of executives and entrepreneurs.
His
request, the changes, delivery and
testing were all done through e-mail.
PHP is a scripting language used in creating dynamic
web pages. It is particularly helpful when web
page content is separated from page design. A good
example of this is a page listing products and
prices.

PHP enables the product/price information to
originate from a separate source such as a data base
or a spreadsheet csv file. A well designed and
implemented site allows a business owner or manager
to easily update the product/price information him
or herself.
Many entrepreneurs would
rather not call
their web site designer every time a price changes!
Here's the message Lloyd sent to
LuckyDuck:
"Hello Allan,
It is posted and working well . . . I like how
cleanly your code is written. When I look at the
page source it is clear and very easy to
follow.
Code is poetry and you are a fine
poet.
Thank you"
Thank you Lloyd, it's been a pleasure!
Salt of the Earth
Lucky's salute to Organic Entrepreneurs!
Every month, we say "Well Done!" to the
people who enable us to bring healthy organic food to
our tables.
This month's standing ovation
goes to
Jean-Marc Riant of Boulangerie la Vendéenne, a
certified organic - and authentic - French Bakery.
Jean-Marc Riant grew up in La Vendéenne, France. His
mother believed it was important to feed her family
good, healthy food. Today, the entrepreneur's bakery
continues the tradition with certified organic
breads.
Although certification means more paper work, more
cost and more time - re-certification is done every
year - "for me," he says, "it is very important."
Lucky launches new small business directory
We're pleased to include a Small Business Directory
in our web site. As with our other special pages,
we'll be updating it each month. We look forward to
it growing as a useful resource.
If you have a business that serves other small
businesses and are interested in having a
reciprocal link with LuckyDuck, please contact
us!
