Posts

Can't you just upload your own? I've been uploading some ones I took on my travels around India, but adding a link back on each one back to the forum. Not sure if your supposed to that, but will be interested to see if it generates any traffic:

Just playing really

Articles and blogs are two different things.

Articles are (normally) static content, ie one off documents, hosted on either your site or article directories.

A blog is (normally) a catalogue (is that the right word?) of different topics arranged in chronological order, and each blog topic normally has the ability to invite feedback and comments, making the blog a conversation, not a static document. This is why blogs (and forums) are great content generators. You start it off, and then other people add their own thoughts.

But I wouldn't host a blog on your home page for a number of reasons, including as you say running out of space!

Updating, adding content is definitely a good thing, I think you just need to get clear in your mind if you want to set up and regularly maintain a blog, or write occasional articles.

I'm prob in the minority, but I disagree. Blogging is all well and fine if you are a good blogger putting up regular updates. There's nothing worse than an unloved or unused blog, which is why I have abandoned our blog

Rich content has been the way forward since the dawn of the web, but there's more to rich content than just blogging.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are basically using your homepage as the blog? But I can't see any posts that I can respond to or make comments?

If that's the case, this isn't a blog, it's just good content. Why not leave all this great content where it is, and start an actual blog? Or even go one better and start a hair dressing forum, even more great content with user interaction

I'm with you, have a never ending to-do list and love whiteboards

If your not using webmaster tools, then go and give yourself a talking to. It's free so no excuse.

Google has just added some more functionality. At last you can now get a much more accurate picture of the state of the indexing of your site, which is a lot more reliable than the older way of doing it site:<your domain>

Go into your Webmaster Tools, Health, then you will see a new tab called Index Status

If you select advanced, you can feel for how your indexing is going, how many pages aren't getting selected, potential issues etc.

Have attached a screen shot of our Jobs Vitae website. During early June we realised we had a major problem with our job feed and the way we archived old jobs, so some new coding was done and the issue resolved.

You can see (now in hindsite) the impact of this fix, and how indexing has been resumed as normal.

Just saw the PM on the telly apologising about a mix up where North Korean athletes were shown next to a South Korea Flag Probably more like wishful thinking...

Can almost hear Sid James and Kenneth Williams laughing from the grave

Hopefully it will now start going mainstream.

I still think it will be a built in app to new generation phones that will make it universal. Most phones have a camera, so just needs the app, or an app that can read all the competing standards built into the camera.

Come on Apple, show us how it's done

The one that gets me now is my hotmail account, it's a nightmare, I've had it hacked twice!

You then get ropey virus laden links sent out to all of your contacts, very embarrassing

So deleted all contacts out of hotmail and left an autoresponder message, "I've been hacked, if you know me, use my normal email. If you dont, use the contact form on mylocalservices"

As one liners go Linda, that was fantastic

This is a cracker, my bank decided to warn me against phishing attacks and watch out for dodgy emails that claim to be First Direct.



Then look how they re-assured me that this email is genuine...



...even the big boys get it wrong
