Exciting times lie ahead if...

Then this article is definitely for you.

he Spectrum fanbois at Retro Computers have enlisted the help of Sir Clive to launch a new crowd-funded Spectrum clone. The Sinclair Spectrum Vega is a console that plays games from the '80s – complete with piezo speaker-generated sound and attribute clash.

The Vega is being marketed by Retro Computers Ltd, a Luton-based startup in which Sir Clive’s company Sinclair Research Ltd is a shareholder.

ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF.........ME

Well just looking back on my blog yesterday, with what i said about getting more visitors something is working as my visitor count for yesterday was 139, normally its around 20-30 so i must be doing something right, will be a lot happier though if i get it in the 1000s everyday..

Today has been rather a non eventful day looking after ellie this morning while kate at work and then i went to work this afternoon, which was rather boring as work was really quiet and had to sit there watching a trainee and train them......

Over the next few weeks im looking at taking various subjects and incorporating them into this blog as like yesterday i vaguely covered internet visitors, so if there is anything that you would like me to cover, be it dog training?, car review?, or anything let me know and i will do my best to run it through here, i have got a few things in mind so keep watching.

I know i have put this on the film reviews but last night i watched Cougar Hunting which is a really really funny film, kate must have thought i was losing the plot cause every few minute i was chuckling to myself and laughing.

I have a day off work tomorrow and hoping to get the rest of the decs up and might even post a couple of pics on here of the fibre optic tree and the decs :), they are nothing special but we all love decorations etc and it is almost that time of year.......22 sleeps till santa comes, and yes i do believe in santa. he is as real as the tooth fairy lol.

OK im now gonna go and snuggle up in a nice warm bed and watch a film as its blinking cold and getting colder, if anyone is out driving where there is snow or ice please be careful.

Have a good morning? afternoon? or night wherever you are.

GETTING NOTICED ON THE NET

Ok so for the last day or so i have been busy trying to advertise my blog and find ways that will help get visitors to my blog etc.

If anyone has a website or blog and is looking for ways to get noticed/more visitors then im hoping that today's blog may help you.

Firstly there are the obvious ways like sharing to Facebook and Twitter and other social network sites.

Secondly is to submit your blog/site to all the search engines which is pretty easy but can be a bit tedious below are links to just some of the sites i use to submit to search engines.

http://www.freewebsubmission.com/

http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/

http://www.submitexpress.com/free-submission.html

http://www.scrubtheweb.com/abs/submit/

http://www.evrsoft.com/fastsubmit/

These are just a few of the best that i use, all you do is enter your website or blog address and email address ( preferably don't use your main email as you may be clogged with submission site emails asking you to verify your email address) and then the site does the rest.

Another way i have found to get your visitor numbers up is to use traffic exchange sites which basically means you sign up for say www.blogclicker.com and then add your site/blog, and then everytime you click on another site you receive credits for which you can assign to your site/blog,
for every credit you receive and assign you can then receive one visit to your own site/blog.....
This is a way of getting visitors and the more sites you view the more visitors you can get BUT this way is very time consuming.

I hope this helps anyone that reads this and look forward to writing other useful articles in the very near future.

Thanks
phil.
