Re: subject

95% French people I have come accross are brain dead, arrogant, lazy, irresponsible, feels the world owes them a high standard of living. They just want money for doing nothing. It is precisely this kind of behaviour that is making me want to sell my property. I do frown when I see or hear folks ex...

Thanks Cassis, I can understand why, I get quite a few spam 'comments' on my blog, although they do get filtered, so I just need to empty the spam box fairly regularly. It's a pity we don't get the backlink credit for google though :( . I suppose at least we get the slight possibility that someone m...

:oops: Thanks for pointing that out Martha - it never crossed my mind. Pray tell - the easiest way to spot whether a link has the 'nofollow' tag please Martha. I can pick it out (after you mentioned it) by viewing the source code, but is there an easier way to spot it ? And am I correct in thinking ...

Thanks Dotty,

Before comments appear they have to be 'moderated' by the site owner, Zoe.
She actually emailed me this morning to say that the article had been posted, so I should imagine your 'comment' will appear pretty soon.

Thanks again :)

Juicy Backlinks with 'The Quirky Traveller !

Quite 'out of the blue' I received an email from someone at H-R's (H-A) a couple of months ago - asking if I would be 'interviewed' about being a Rental Owner. (we do list with them) I thought "Nothing ventured nothing gained" and agreed and to cut a long story short the 'interview' has ju...

Yes, I did nemo, I'm not sure about elena's, but I think that first photo of mine was only about 430 x 320. I tried uploading larger pics, but there seems to be a problem (for me at least) uploading anything above about 1.5mb (sometimes). It's not all the time, but, as we speak, (or I type), I'm try...

Thanks Wallypott :D Wallypott, I think one of us is missing something :? Your link does take me to your pinterest boards, but I couldn't find any pics (sorry 'pins') on there with links to your own normandie rental website - which for me is kinda the objective (for the back links) I'm guessing that ...
