Can I do this do you guys think? www.psha-inc.com/guai-support/sf/DamienLeith.htmNot sure how much it will help but hopefully it will promote Damien some. It is linked to from my main page but I need a little pic for the link panel on the right so it will pop out more. I'm not sure what I can use yet and hope I haven't stepped over any copyright bounds so far. Anyone see a problem please let me know. This is the only non-health related item/page on my site, such is my love and respect for THE man!

That looks fine leithal *mighty fine* ;D I know a little about this because I went through it all when I set up my site. When I searched for domains damienleithonline.com and probably .net were still available but you better check someone hasn't snapped it up to make a buck out of or to start their own site I'll have to check tomorrow or PM me and I'll find the details that I registered with because my domain name only costs $11AUD a year as it's with an Australian company although anyone can buy and sell domains. With the search engines I just googled submit site to search engine or similar and it came up with heaps of diff sites that add your site to search engines. One added my site to 40 diff search engines, I didn't even know there was that many. Some charge but all the ones I did where free. I think I did a whole lot of smaller ones and the larger ones like yahoo, msn and google. It has had a few more hits since then but a lot are probably from here too. Also you could have an affiliates section that will help with exposure

Thanks irishrokit! I have an affiliate section (being a pensioner who runs a free health web site & mailing list, it is one way to recoup web site, computer, domain name, energy, etc., costs). My membership is predominently American but some from all over the world so I'm hoping it will go a tiny way to promoting Damien overseas as well as Australia. Domain names are not expensive and we need to get a couple very quickly before someone else thinks of them. If we are taking up a collection, I will transfer a few dollars into the bank account of whoever is purchasing them. Just let me know. Personally I would also like to ensure that Damien can have any of the domain names with his name if he ever wants them. I don't like using other people's names or creativity for sites without their approval. I had it done to me and it was 'nasty'. In this case I know the desire is to help Damien but in my case it wasn't to help me. Anyone else have thoughts about this aspect? hugz

Well originally I was just checking what domains were available and I saw www.damienleith.net still available so I bought it mainly because I'd seen the .com one for sale on ebay *can't remember what it was now but it was in the $1000's* and I didn't want someone doing the same with all the damienleith ones. Then I decided to build a site because I've always wanted to for the experience but didn't have anything interesting do to one on. But if Damien ever wanted it it wouldn't worry me, it is helping promote him though so I don't think he minds. The .com one though is linked to someones myspace to promote their business which I think is wrong. Has anyone checked out the .org one? There's more ads on it than anything about Damien. It's a very confusing site Here's were I bought mine from: webnamesaustralia.myorderbox.com/servlet/ShowSplashPageServletthe .info ones are onsale at the moment for $2.75 a year and damienleithonline.com and .net are still available. The .com.au ones are a lot more expensive though. I've found one place that sells them for $140 for 2 years and a lot are still available. webnamesaustralia aren't very into customer service but all you need to do is change the name servers and your set. You may not even have to change the current address just point the name servers to here and both the old and new address might work, not 100% sure though.

;D I just searched for my site. Not sure what engine it uses but I used the one on my home page and it comes up on the first page So it would help if you can submit this site to some search engines too. Here's some if you want to try: Add me submits you free to 14 search engines: tools.addme.com/servlet/s0newSubmit express, 40 search engines and the major ones like yahoo,google,msn etc: www.submitexpress.com/
