I was going to write about our business, Black Mountain Plumbing Inc today in my first blogpost on Storeboard, but to tell you the truth, I am so frustrated with this, having had to start all over for now the third time, that I decided to write about some immediate improvements that Storeboard needs.
If you need to leave while writing a post, don't do it. Storeboard will see that you have left and will give you a blank screen to return to. You will start all over. Finish everything before you leave, save it and then if you have to make edits, return and edit the post.
After you have completed everything, then publish the blog by checking the box near the author' name.
Some other problems I have run into while trying to complete this profile 100%. The dashboard pages seem to load very slowly, there is just so much on here. On some items you may have to try more than once to get your update to save and post. I noticed that with the new category function especially.
Another item which I see on many sites using Facebook apps including Storeboard is allowing you to post from Storeboard only to a Facebook profile. That is hardly good for businesses with facebook pages. Storeboard has informed me that will be changed to where you will have choice of pages, groups or profiles to post to by the end of January.
I hope this post helps someone out there not go throiugh some of the frustrations I have gone through today trying to complete this profile. I think this is a very interesting directory that could become a very useful place for small businesses. I look forward to working with Storeboard as they improve upon their site.
