Hello and welcome aboard!

My name is Dale Y the Maintenance Guy and I am the Home Improvement Editor at BellaOnline. Thanks for looking in and I believe you will like what you see!

I want to make the Home Improvement site a completely user friendly place, where I will post useful information in a format that anyone can read and use. The emphasis here will be on readability as well as ease of use, and that includes being able to understand everything I post, from instructions to ideas to product reviews for anyone who is either a novice or the seasoned pro. Besides all of the featured articles here, you will be able to find many more articles that have been archived, which may be located on the left side of the featured articles main page, and when applicable, I will also share links to anything related to the subjects that I am writing about.

Please feel free to sign up for the Home Improvement newsletter. By getting the newsletter, you will be able to stay on top of all the good ideas as well as the news and views that I will be featuring on this site. Just go to the sign up box which you will conveniently find at the bottom right.

To subscribe is completely free, and there is no muss of fuss about it. All personal and confidential information will be kept as exactly that, personal and confidential, and even I do not get to see it, so you can always feel safe and secure at all times. Also, you may unsubscribe whenever you wish, and there are no hassles when doing that either.

The Home Improvement newsletter will be sent to you approximately 3 to 4 times per month, and you will find that it will keep you informed about all the new articles here, as well as some of the best and latest topics in the BellaOnline forum.

Speaking of that forum, feel free to join and contribute there as well. It is a great place to share ideas and just meet up with other folks like you who have an interest in home improvements, DIY, maintenance and anything else related to household projects.

I would love to hear your ideas and comments about what works best for you and what does not. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them in the forum, or better yet, I will devote an entire article to your question with solutions and feature it on the Home Improvement site. I will even give credit where credit is due and post a -submitted by- blurb at the end with your name if you would like. Just let me know!

Thanks again for stopping in and checking out the Home Improvement site here. To know more about me, please click on my pic for a Bio, and that will give you a little insight on who I am, what my experience is, and other little tidbits.

I would appreciate any feedback you care to give, or just write me a little note to say Hi. You are welcome at all times, and I hope to make this site as fun and informative as I possibly can.

Thanks for joining me!
