General Discussion Area / Re: web site building
« on: 17 November 2011, 09:25:29 »Kevins radio site is a good example what can be done with wordpress.Your site looks okay, you used "Trellix Site Builder" and your source code advertises this more than your own company.
I use 123 reg for domain registrations and for hosting there is Vidahost. Hosting is reasonably priced, basic package is £17 per year and there is a discount if you use a referrer so cheaper still. There is also plenty of advice on their forum regarding site building etc. Support is first class and they can be contacted by phone and numerous other methods.
As your a business I would register with the ukbusinessforums and ask for their input regarding your site and getting listed in the search engines. Add signatures in forums, get listed in web directories, put your web address on business cards etc. Use Google webmaster tools and analytics, there is adwords and adsense to play with, a steep learning curve, getting listed as a business is well worth the effort.
Thanks for the reply im sorry but the comment at the top has gone way over my head can you add further details please
im going to register with the advised site now thanks again
You have a few choices, learn from scratch (but that takes time). Pay a web designer to do the work, ask on forums for someone to setup or tweak your site in return for a link to their services.
The Vidahost forum has a few web designers who will likely help out with the cheaper option, anyway it costs nothing to ask
Here is a handy tutorial site if you have a bit of spare time, it's very basic but hands on and will give you the general idea where to head.

Follow the quick site guide on the left, just remember to concentrate on your business, web design as a hobby has a habit of eating up all your time.

What happened to regular servicing and the pre-mot check?
Personally I would be pleased to have got the ticket, anything cropping up later can be done at my leisure. My MOT test station know me as a regular, fair but would not hesitate to fail if I missed something serious.

General Discussion Area / Re: Alex Salmond - is there a place in the Tower for him?
« on: 23 October 2011, 14:07:57 »Alex Salmond is a dickWell said and well put.
He done well at the last elections because many labour voters voted snp in protest to the titanic balls up labour made of the country
He will not fare so well in a general election
not all Scots (including me) want to seperate from the rest of the UK Alex Salmond would have you all believe we all want all want independance I am a Brit who was fortunate To be born in Scotland
I have told my Wife if Scotland ever gains independance i will be moving south, Newcastle would be far enough
I believe the union of the 4 countries works
Salmond was always banging his drum about other small countries iceland, ireland etc and how well they were doing right up untill they landed on their arses he has gone a bit quiet about them now.
Most Scots dont want independance and if there ever was a referendum i think salmond would be unsucsessfull
they have always been a one police party i am amazed he done as well as he has
The above views are very similar to my own, I did vote SNP simply to upset Labour.
I am not interested in independance as I do not think it would work, then again I would also come out of Europe and the so called union.

General Car Chat / Re: solid flywheel
« on: 21 October 2011, 08:28:01 »Just curious, if you had a clutch go at a lower milage, would you replace the DMF as well or take a chance after inspecting it?
No issues with them on the petrol Omegas and have seen them with 300K+ miles on
Or does it depend on the make of car / engine type?

« on: 20 October 2011, 09:11:26 »but I'm starting to think this forums are not what I thought they wereTrouble is as a newbie you do not know what goes on behind the scenes. Any forum uses resources in the form of a server and bandwidth. I suspect the OOF admin is trying to get the best out of the forum, that may require to cutback on stuff that increases the load and makes the server unstable.
You have forum posts, the PM system, edit buttons and mods which add extra functionality to the forum. Some of the stuff also hogs resources and can make the forum unstable. If you have explained in the past and have to keep repeating yourself why something is missing then maybe nerves get a bit frayed.
If OOF admin is paying for the setup and keeping it going behind the scenes then cut him a bit of slack. Then again at 3 pages you could be a troll and achieving what you set out to do, cause disruption

I bought something similar minus the hedge trimmer / chain saw (that chainsaw looks a bit suspect).
This was selling on offer for approx £80 at the shop, brush cutter did the job trimming back hedging and nettles.
