emisle @emisle (3822) • Ireland 27 Dec 06

rhysboy84 Personal opinion the US Drinking laws are a joke. I live in the UK and feel a little wierd that it's easier to get a gun in the US than a drink. Something, I believe is not right there!

rhysboy84 Why not have both? If you are using blogger, it's a bit limited, but if you have wordpres there are options to create static pages. You could also create a website with a "blog" on it (have a look at http://www.rhyswynne.co.uk for an example of it), also you...

rhysboy84 Beware with traffic exchanges. They don't produce quality traffic (just 30 second clickthroughs), and you can violate a lot of advertising schemes' TOS by participating in them. Best thing to do is to comment on blogs you like, submit to directories and...

rhysboy84 I generally read sites I like, and comment on them. Etiquette says that they'll comment back, but the worse comes to the worst I generally get a few clickthroughs. Join blogging forums too, and spread the word about your blog :)
