People ask me why I don’t blog more often, and I figured I’d stick a mid-month post to crush the rumors that I am some kind of monthly posting bot. 
I do enjoy telling people about all the great new features of DealTaker.com and what’s new in my life, but either I forget (my bad), or I’m just busy…
So here’s a quick update. Keep checking our Online Coupons area for some changes in how coupons are displayed, and also look into our very popular Black Friday 2007 page. We hope to keep this as up-to-date as possible, and have our viewers be among the first for the Black Friday preview ads.
As far as me personally, I’m just staying busy working on new features, and trying to keep everyone happy. My kids are busy in sports & cub scouts, so that pretty much takes up a lot of my time with all the games and stuff.
Well, that’s enough for now, but Keep checking in on us

It’s time to send the kids back to school. It’s that time of year, and the kids will be heading back to school soon. My family was hoping to take a trip to Denver to see the rest of our family this week, but due to some unforeseen issues, we’re stranded here in Dallas for these last few weeks of the summer. The weather here has stayed cool (well under 100) this summer, so the kids were able to play outside and swim when it wasn’t raining. Today we were able to head to Six Flags, and had a ball until about 2, when the park got real busy, so we left (we have season passes). Hopefully over the next few weeks we’ll be able to take a few more family days and do some more fun stuff. At DealTaker.com, we’re still moving forward with new things, and we have our great Back To School Deals thread, and will be having some other new features coming soon too!
That’s enough for now, I’ll be back to post soon.

One last thing before I finish this post. If you’re stuck at the office, and tired of the same old pictures on your desk, be sure to pick up a Digital Picture frame. I have one, and it’s always great to update it with the latest pictures of my family! And it brings a smile to each day.

Wow, it’s June, and the weather is getting warm. Here in Texas, we’re ready for some weekends in the pool .
We love the summer, so we’ve created a couple new contests!. The first one is in conjunction with the Discovery Channel Store. They’ve given us a copy of Planet Earth, and all you need to do to enter, is reply to our Contest Thread telling us your plans for Fathers Day.
In Our other new contest, we’re giving away some DealTaker promotional items, as well as a Prada Purse. For an entry, we’re just asking you to refer some friends! Check out the Contest Page today.
Also this month, there’s a lot of Graduation events going on, so whether its your child, a friend or relative, we’ve created a thread of the best graduation deals.
And for Fathers Day, why not check out our Fathers Day Deals & Coupons thread.
As always, we’re working on new and exciting enhancements to DealTaker.com and our other sites, so stay tuned!

If you’re a member of DealTaker.com already, then you probably saw our Newsletter, but if not, be sure to check it out. We’re constantly adding more stores and enhancing our current features!.
Last month we gave away hundreds of DealTaker backpacks, and people loved our 3 year birthday celebration. We hope to have a new contest available soon, so keep checking out DealTaker often!
Now on to my personal life… Well, I took the family on a disney cruise, and it was tons of fun! The kids loved the beach the best, so this summer we’ll try to just go to California or Florida and hang out on the beach for a few days with them. I haven’t been to Galveston, but if it’s nice, we may even just go there, since we can drive! My kids favorite thing to do was the Pin Trading… We’ve had some great deals on pins on our Disney Store Coupons page, so rather than paying $10 or so each, you can get tradable ones for like $3 or $4 each with the coupons!
Well, have a great month, and here’s some pictures!

Well, it’s February, and Valentines day is soon approaching. I haven’t decided what to get Abbey, maybe some flowers if I can get the energy to order them. I’ve been sick for about a week already, and I am just sick of being sick. I had the Flu and 102 degree fever plus bronchitis. At least while I was home, I caught up on all my reality shows, and watched a few movies (Click, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Scarface), which I had been holding on to and never got to watch.
If you haven’t seen it yet, this is DealTaker’s 3rd Birthday. And to make this birthday special, we’ve got 300 backpacks to give away! All we ask is a link to dealtaker, from your blog, your email sig, or anywhere. This is the last of the items with our old logo, so be sure to keep checking our contests for new items, hopefully within a month or 2, we’ll have some neat new nifty items to give away! Besides the 300 backpack giveaway, we’ll be having contests to give away lots of other dealtaker stuff which has accumulated over the past year, (backpacks, prada purse, video games, and whatever else I can find).
Well, even though I’ve been sick, we’ve had some changes at DealTaker lately. We have another Fulltime Moderator, Hanh, who will hopefully start taking over some of my linking-duties besides helping with the deals and coupons!. Also, Beth is our new Editor, who’s working with us 3 days a week, cleaning up our Press Section, Privacy Policy, and other areas, as well as helping to promote the site. We have a new programmer starting late next week too, who will be initially taking over pricetaker and getting it loaded with even more and more accurate data and some awesome new features!
No Blog post is complete without a few plugs. If you haven’t yet started on your taxes, you can save a lot by using our Turbo Tax Promo Codes.
Well, now its time for me to rest a little more, and watch Fight Club. Be sure to vote which celeb is the coolest!

Wow, it’s been a crazy few months, and I know I’ve been absent from the blog for a month, but I’m still here.
We’re working on a few great new things in the coming months, and here’s a really quick preview:
1. We’re constantly adding more stores to PriceTaker, our Price Engine. We’ve also added the ability to quickly add the resulting products into a DealTaker post, or into your personal Gift Registry, GiftTaker.com.
2. We’re adding more features to the Gift Registry, so creating events, and adding items will be even easier!
3. If you have the Google Toolbar, be sure to add the Dealtaker button, so you can quickly search DealTaker, and also see the latest deals in a simple drop-down!
4. We’re hiring. If you live in the Dallas area and want to work for DealTaker, we have 3 open jobs, (moderator, PHP/Programmer, PR/Marketing). send us an email at jobs@dealtaker.com with your desired position, salary range & qualifications, and we’ll get you a job description & application.
On a personal Note, I was finally able to take a quick break with the family and we went Skiing in Colorado, it was fun, but its nice to be back in warm (well like 50 degrees) Dallas again.
