WOW.... thanks everyone! Reminds me why I like this business so much.. for the people.

Plateman.. I think it's You I had near the top of my list of promises left on the to-do list for far too long. :\ I hate to say it, as it's a downer for others to read, but you sound just like I have been feeling since a couple of projects I had put heart n soul into came to nothing over the last few months.. I wish I could just say plug on and all will be ok, but I don't think I believe that at the moment. I feel like there is too many smarter, trickier and more up to date people out there gunning at everything and anything successful I have in the search engines.

I read an article that says URLs with the word "link" or "links" are being penalised somehow by google a few days back. I'm not one to believe much SEO stuff I read in public.. but doing a few searches it seemed like a pretty common "myth" if it isn't true... have a look around at how many linksites (particularly gossamer users) have their site setup domain.com/links/Category/ around here and it will make you want to cry if you think like me... that we need each other to survive and prosper.

It sounds like you deserve to be doing better than me with the level of real productivity you are managing btw Plateman.

Someone please tell me their freesite and/or linklist business is up so far this year.. i'm going to drive myself to depression at this rate :p

(I went to the pub for 2 hours this evening.. and made myself bloody sicker again as well)

Hey Opti!

In spite of what our instincts tell us, once in a while we need a break from having fun (if you can believe it) and just get some honest to goodness rest.

So, put down the

and the |duff| and the booze and what not, and get some rest.

Realize this: "Life ain't worth living if you lose your health because of your own stupidity."

Get some rest. Eat right for a while. Get some exercise or even go for a walk. It'll do your body and your mind good. Soon after that, you'll be

in the streets. And that would be good.

Oh shit, you're back. I thought you died so I was going to steal your logo and use it at Filthy Earl's.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing better. I too am one of those guys who ignores every symptom until the illness gets bored or disgusted with me and a goes away on its own accord. Get some rest, but don't rest too long. Porn waits for no man.

I bet if you (or some artistic type) could sketch what you want we could find someone useful enough with photoshop to wack it together into something brilliant like Urb did for me (in less than an hour it felt like)

How cool is this one? My daughter had it done for a site she was planning. She did the basic design and had a cartoonist finish it. http://www.purepunkrock.com/ppr.jpg

Filthy Earl NEEDS a "character" UW!

Thanks Greenie

I've had something in mind for a while now. I'll have it done some day. I'm seeing Earl as being a real grungy farmer looking guy. He'll probably have a beer gut, lots of stubble on his face and a couple of teeth missing. I think he'll wear overalls. Maybe 'Earl' on a baseball cap or on his shirt. I've even considered having a frightened little sheep next to him.
