v sad news, but he'd been very ill for a long time. A truly masterly actor. - Isha (Marysia)

I"m glad his ordeal is over, then. But I'll miss him. I may pull out my Crusade DVDs; his conversation with his son (who played Galen the Technomage) is priceless! - LJF Wolffe

Was that Tim? If you find a url for that conversation I'd be interested in it (I had a teeny weeny part on The Lady Windermere's Fan on BBC that Tim starred in. Coincidentally I found the vids for it on Youtube - see Create It FF room). - Isha (Marysia)

Galen was played by Peter Woodward -- who definitely inherited his father's voice. I'll look for YouTube -- and go watch you, too! Cool! - LJF Wolffe

So sorry -- I can't find video. But it was the Crusade episode "The Long Road," if that helps at all. - LJF Wolffe

Thanks LJF. - Isha (Marysia)

That is sad news I was not even aware that he had been so I'll, I used to love him in the Equalizer. - Groobers from BuddyFeed

the other one has the 5:32 to 6:17 bit. Dunno if this room is really the place for it. Acting seems very creative to me; I guess I thought I was creating a character (albeit the most minor one you could ever think of), as if Mr Oscar Wilde didn't have much to do with it :D - Isha (Marysia)

Isha just watched both videos fantastic that was you as the maid? Wow how cool that I am friends with a famous actress :-) - Groobers from iPod

Isha here is the url to the friendfeed blog post "FriendFeed now 6x more awesomer with themes" http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009... (It was just a case of picking a theme and changing it in your settings). Just noticed another post on the blog about "Custom FriendFeed themes and a way to show them off" http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009... , which I never noticed before but looks interesting. - Groobers

I have to say that I'm not a great fan of Michael Hutchence. There was no-one to touch Freddie. Every time I see Hutchence's name I can't help seeing visions of his strange death 8-o - Isha (Marysia)

I love them both I spent many an hour growing up locked in my bedroom listening and dreaming! Freddie had it all the voice the charisma and of course the shear brilliance of all the queen band. As for Michael as Paul Weller sang (You Do Something To Me) he just did it for me, everything about him from his music to his look and of course his air of danger :) - Groobers

Nice PDF Groobers :) A question about your question. Are wanting to upload the pdf for others to download or to have as a post? - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Hi Ron I was going to upload it as a pdf for download, I never thought about having it as a post, that is an even better idea, any tips on doing either would be good :) I have uploaded a pdf before in weebly but never with wpd so have no clue. I like the idea of it just being a hand written post but no clue how to achieve this? - Groobers

I don't know about WPD, but why not upload it to scribd or another file storage service and share the download link in your blog ;) - Jorge Blanco

@Groobers I don't think it is possible to upload it from within your WPD contrl panel. The best way to upload it (or any file) is with FTP. I use Filezilla which is very easy to use. All your FTP info is shown in your WPD "manage websites" area. ** If you need help setting up FTP, Direct message me here or PM on the forum**. You would just upload your PDF to your server and than link to... more... - Ron"micronet"Harwood

I have only just recently start having a look in wp-admin usually I post via WPD or Market Samuari does anyone know why it say I have 1 page (which is a contact page) should there not be 2 pages a contact page and a home page? Sorry I know very little about wordpress :)

September 18 - Comment - Like - Share

All is as should be. WP does not usually list a home page, only other pages that you create or that are part of a theme which alot of times is an about page or contact page. Your index.php is your home page and is by default always considered present. - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Thanks Ron I've bought myself wordpress for dummies so hopefully I will be able to get a grip on it, cheers for helping - Groobers

snap, I've just got WP for dummies too - Isha (Marysia)

Isha we can be dummies together, shame a 30dcer with wordpress skills did not have a site teaching about wordpress and had that book as the affiliate product, just think they could had two sales straight away and I bet many more! - Groobers

Well I've read quite a bit of it already & haven't found anything useful yet. Will report back again. - Isha (Marysia)

If you imagine your wordpress blog as a roll of toilet paper, the first thing anyone sees is the first sheet on that toilet paper (latest blog post or stickied blog post). Pages are stand alone hand towels that are on their individual rails, up on the wall and away from the toilet paper, but still accessible.....does that make sense? The toilet paper is the visible bit :) - Allison

There's a crucial lesson for Wordpress here : always keep a spare one in the same room. - Andy Roberts

Does that mean fancy towels are not going to help then if the toilet paper is the cheap and nasty kind, only have the double soft quilted variety and then worry about the hand towel coordination? - Groobers

Groobers I like that. - Isha (Marysia)

If the pattern in the toilet paper is interesting people will naturally want to check the quality of the handtowels. Just to get a feel of who owns this bathroom anyway - Allison

When unrolling, watch out for the sticky post at the top. - Andy Roberts

This is turning into a great thread - seems to me that metaphors like this could be a lot more meaningful than the standard way of giving tips - thank you Allison (and Andy)! - Isha (Marysia)

Isnt the CPC too high? with $.50 you're only at pos 4-5... - Jorge Blanco

2 more comments

at $0.50 you need to be making $100 sale each 200 clicks to break even ;) IF you can do more than that you'll see profit. Just take in account that to achieve pos 1 in the ads, you'll need to make aprofit with an even higher CPC - Jorge Blanco

the CTR is great, you should have a quality of score of at least 7. I wouldn't say CPC is high or low, really depends on how popular the keywords are and the level of competition. In my experience, position 4 or 5 is pretty good if your aiming to keep cost per conversion low. - besht

thanks for the thoughts I have paused the campaign while a revisit some other issues. - Groobers

just joined 30Dc Plus and not sure exactly where to start. There are a lot of vids from 2008...should I start with the oldest one? iTunes is working real hard to download them all.

Wow, Russ -- that's cool, but kinda scary. Good lines, though, huh? Even if I did find "all my friends are on it" somewhere else. And don't worry about the name thing; I use LJF to be intentionally ambiguous, so it's my own darn fault. 8-) - LJF Wolffe
