Over the weekend I was looking at Google Webmaster tools and looked at the details for one of our websites Desire Solutions.

click on this link with your right mouse button and then click ‘Add to Favorites…’. Then put it as a link in your Favorites bar. Don’t worry about the unsafe message – I have checked it and it’s fine!

Why do a whole load of spammers who write using symbols I have never seen before think I will want their comment on my posts!! If I can’t read/understand what you have written it will go straight to trash/spam.
Plus if you have a generic email eg hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc then I will only accept your comment if you DO NOT leave a website link. Website links where the email comes from a different domain will be trashed/marked as spam. A bit of a rant but it’s annoying – I know you won’t even read this post but it makes ME feel better!!!!
