DISQUS

I'm not entirely sure how much use LinkedIn actually is. I've never used it for business at all.

Hello "Guest Poster No. 1" - I recommend that you never switch industries to work in IT Support (something I have so far had the displeasure to do twice) it'd be just like not switching at all - LOL. On the other hand the difference between some users and some agents appears to be... um... not a lot. I have a nasty feeling that a certain kind of person exists in this world just to be hated by the people that have to support them. Perhaps there is a simple explanation for why people behave like they do (like brain fell out or something) but my industry has some of those too - I feel for you because I recognise that exasperated cry of "For the Love of sanity - WHY!?"

Hello, I was just about to mention the same point but you have already done it in person Mitchell. That really does look like shooting oneself in the foot.

If they bundle it with a solar charger then they might be on to something. Or sell recharger points that self charge on electric power - they cost nothing to run but make you money! That'd work.

I now have it on reasonably good (anonymouse though it shall remain) authority that this is likely to be a case of one man being too busy. Also I am told word-press have always sucked at the support side of things.

With that in mind I think the story of the man who wanted bread springs to mind. It's a bible (parable) story from the NT that you may be aware of.

Man gets visitors late at night and is customerily expected to feed them but he has no food to feed them with. So he knocks on the door of the guy next door. The same set of customs hopefully working to have the guy next door help out. The guy next door is, however, in bed and so is the rest of the family.

"Go away" calls the man next door, "we're all in bed."

But the man does not go away and eventually his next door neighbor gives him some bread to shut him up.

Possibly this might apply here.

Absolutely! SEO is all about the "O"- optimization! that is being clear to dumb bots what the topic is so it has the best chances of indexing it correctly.

That reminds me. I have yet to get a reply from my communications with them... hmm... customer service not a top priority there then?

I must confess I have done nothing with my link connector account (yep a big fat 0 effort resulting 0.00 (no surprise there)) but I think this might be worth looking at.

That was a good post - a good choice of blogger. I have likewise been helped by Andy when a post I wrote about a site got the owner very angry - the guy was trolling all over the show and Andy Beard simply kept a level head and talked sense and it worked. There was no special reason for him to stand up for me like that but he did it anyway.

I think this is something we all go through sooner or later and it defines us as people in how we react. The first few times there was some minor agro through blogging it was mostly my fault (one day I will learn to be less opinionated and far less "aggressive" when I disagree strongly) and I handled it badly. I had only been blogging for a few months and really acted like a pit of a prat. By contrast you have done yourself proud.

Google alerts might be a good idea in a general marketing sense anyway however attacking all of the bloggers you have listed would perhaps make it a crime suitable for public investigation (police) although I'm highly doubtful at this time. I'm not especially frightened of someone SEOing bad stuff at me as I have spent years SEOing myself by my screen name and the SEO would have to be quite good at their job. A blogger by the name of Spam Huntress might be able to offer tips on tracking down this guy.

I'd go after him to make an example out of him and a few hot legal letters in his real name would soon change his tune. email me the IPs if you want and I'll see what I can work out about them. I can blog it or email it back.

her url is http://spamhuntress.com/ - it's a good blog.

What an amazing amount of bollocks! there is no way that even in the USA that even a fraction of that could stick. I'd slap the law firm back with an anti-harassment cease and desist and a follow up to the eperks themselves. Then, yes, I would blog about it.

Does your blog platform support closing comments on a per post basis? It sounds like some of those older posts needed a line drawn under them.

Anything they want to accuse you of they have to prove both here in the UK and in the USA. If they make claims against you then you can always demand in a cease and desist that "you are advised to demand proof of these claims" - there are plenty of templates for that sort of thing ont he web.

Don't let them bully you.

Fortunately in the UK things are currently a little more balanced on the spending front. That said the "human rights" laws have twisted the issue up something bad.

So you are a theologian too Vlad. The biggest argument for legalised abortions was the saftey of the woman. The question carries assumptions that a good lawer should not miss.


When outlawing something we outlaw a very specific action. In this theoretical case we outlaw abortions. Let us compare outlawing tattoos. It is the tattooing that is forbidden not the having of the tat. Therefore it is the tattooist that has broken the law not the subject and although you could argue they are are an accessory you could also argue that they were a victim albeit a willing one.

Compaire back the act of abortion to be outlaws requires that there be a victim and as the law does not recognise the baby it must recognise the mother as a victim of a crime. This makes those who carry out the procedure the criminals. You are right when you say it is a trap from one end to the other because it comes complete with false assumptions as a "what if".

I'm still here.

No. I'm not going to unsubscribe. I might move the live bookmarks link to general but other than that I have more depth than a single subject.

This is your personal blog and it chronicles your opinions and style over time. When affiliate stuff was your focus then articles on affiliate stuff would be the norm (80%) but now you focus has shifted...

Good luck.

I say go for it - blog what drives you. If all you take away is the experence is that not worth it?

Only some passions monetise well and some (say spirituality) should never be monetised. Great title I had to click it.

"woot"! - I'm not too late. Hello again I'd love a review simply because I crave the attention.

This is probably where the likes of Andy Beard would give an in depth run down of the service and what it does. I was left wondering a little.

I think I can do a reasonable job of running a (somewhat specilised) search engine and so have started scripting it. I'm going to grab some data soon and give it a test. There is sufficient public domain and open source data on doing so that it should not be too hard. Heck even the original pagerank specification is GNU GPL php class.

If I do make said engine your blog will be the first one I try to spider. Just thought I'd let you know.
