Thumbnail image for The Re-Auction – New Feature!

The Re-Auction is a twist on sidebar advertising. As you might expect it involves displaying an ad to your site in a 125×125 pixel format over in the right hand sidebar. Instead of directly selling or renting these ad spaces I’m going to auction them off to the highest bidder through eBay.com. As the winning [...]

Two Steps Forward One Step Back This is probably sums up the way I’ve lived my life. And it’s not a bad thing. It’s a good thing. See… I’m smiling about it It reflects that I’m very much a trial and error person – bit like an inventor (but not a mad one… I’m perfectly [...]

Thumbnail image for Changes To Mona Lisa Terms (and more)

I’ve made a few changes, mainly to simplify things for you and also for me. I got to feeling that the range of SEO options was too daunting and on reflection provided only minimal extra value so I’ve lightly pruned that element. I want to provide a valuable service but I don’t want to scare [...]

I was encouraged by Danny who enjoys simplicity, and Strawberry who is adept at changing the spark plugs on a Mazda MX5, to define whether this project is a business or a charity (non-profit) and I can say without hesitation that it’s a business.
