I never realized I felt so connected to my website - until someone tried to Hi-Jack the idea and name.
So onto the New Factor - Ancaster is getting so big these days that it is hard to tell which companies are truly local.
As an Ancaster home owner I quickly realized that reliable or available Contractors were hard to find, and as a Mom I wanted to know who was coming into my home and feel comfortable with them.
I found that print Ad's in the back of the Ancaster News were useless to determine if a contractor should be selected or not, or whether a purchase was of value.
Thus the Ancaster Factor – Second Generation - Business & Services Listings came to life.
The Ancaster Factor has been an active website since the early 1990's.The Factor began as a way to track friends email address's when I was living abroad. It quickly picked a lot of interest. Ancaster people all over the world found it an easy place to connect with old friends.
I have spent many hours and much money keeping the website up since 1996 when the programming was still dos based and I had to memorize the html code. I have always looked at the AncasterFactor as a fun way of teaching myself about "Web Misstressing", it forces me to keep current with new technology and I enjoy it as a hobby.
The old Factor was brought to life in the days before Facebook, and the core group of Ancaster Factorites - were mostly friends from AHVS. This was a well and good until it got a little popular and my inbox always had a backlog of requested posts. That was the "old" Ancaster Factor and manual updates are no longer required. Facebook Groups are a great way for everyone to have control over their content. Please join the AncasterFactor group on Facebook @ www.facebook.com/ancasterfactor

I want to make a difference by purchasing local and sustainable products.
Whether is it contractors, services or local meat and produce we are all accountable… and make choices every day at the cash register.
