Promote Your Site With Wikidweb!

wikidweb-community-portal-wikidweb_1198965585609.pngI love Wiki’s! Here’s a way to promote your site and add some backlinks with Wikidweb

Wikidweb (Wiki Directory of the WEB, or Wiki’d Web) is a free, open, instant internet directory - like the Open Directory Project, but more open.

Instantly. For Free. That’s why this directory exists - to have the most open, accessible, FREE directory on the net. blockquote1.gif

It’s a nice resource. You do need to register to add entries, due to some recent vandalism. Why is there always an idiot that wants to spoil other people’s work? :sad:

Enjoy!

Off to England for Xmas!

I’m off to visit my folks in (chilly - no rather freezing!) England later today. A line from Roger Whittaker’s Last Farewell comes to mind ‘from your land of endless sunshine, to my land full of rainy skies and gales’. That’s how I feel going to the UK in the depths of winter from sunny Antigua. They tell me snow is forecast for Xmas!

I’ll try to make a few posts while I’m there but don’t be surprised if they’re a bit thin on the ground. Expect some more great themes and interesting posts when I return in two weeks!

Happy Xmas to everyone!

Backup Your Blog With Blog Backup Online

We all know how important it is to backup your stuff! I’ve been running the WordPress plugin Wp-DBManager which does a good job of backing up my database, but I’m also trying out Blog Backup Online which claims to backup and restore all your blog content (posts and comments).

A potentially very useful service is that you can transfer your blog to a different platform. So if you want to transfer all your content from Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress account for instance Blog Backup Online will do that for you. Currently restore is supported for Blogger, Windows Live Spaces, WordPress, and Live Journal.
