Instead, it has issues, with each issues containing a number of posts. Just like a real magazine.

Profitable Loopholes

I'm a great fan of getting things for free, especially when said things are risk free. There are lots of loopholes you can exploit across the internet to get "free" things, and I've just come across another one. This isn't going to be as profitable as some other loopholes, for example a keyword pricing imbalance (where you could buy adverts for less than the money you make from similar adverts being clicked) that recently came up across the internet advertising networks recently bagged thousands… Continue

Hi Simon. Yes I've found the contact pane now also. It's been a while since I've been on this site. I was having terrible problems with Ning before I got the new iMac with Leopard. Now (fingers crossed) it's all going well.

Hey Simon. Thanks for all the effort you are putting into this group. I appreciate it and I know many others do as well.

I first lived in England from 83 to 85. I remember always needing to carry a sweater or light jacket in the boot "just in case". - JWS

Hi Simon,
I'm back from a cross-country trip. Hey I just realized that probably doesn't have quite the same impact to you over in the UK as it does in the US. Anyway, thought I'd check in with the creating a blog idea/project and see where you were with it.
