One of those has done so 3 times

The Government has given VSO £35.26 in Gift Aid thanks to you

I didn’t set out to break any barriers and clearly haven’t, but still, mildly interesting. It would be nice if more people talked on here though, as your encouragement will keep me going, so I have opened up the system. You no longer need to be a registered member to leave a comment anywhere on my site.

On that note, if you have any suggestions or if there is anything you would like to know about VSO please feel free to ask. Perhaps you would like me to publish the identity of Mr Vein?

As for my progress, I am still finding little bits of usefulness to take with me and am planning to inventory everything before I go just for the sake of it and will publish that here. I have finished my lesson observations and have one long course at Harborne left. After that it’s just a few weeks until lift-off. My next post will be when I get back from Harborne Hall around the start of November.

See you in a few weeks.

Hey I googled and Yahoo’d Shazzooodom and both times your wordpress site came up - cool. How come your site does and mine doesn’t? :(

Have a look in the webeden options. there may be some privacy settings which you need to tick in order to get listed on search engines. otherwise you may have to wait for them to find you.

if my site is coming up when you google yours, it shouldn’t be long before yours comes up too.

Not strictly scientifically correct as you could have a myster stalker - but for the sake of comedy I let that possibility slide.

I’m confused why would I google myself? JB is it not to do with that bulk email I sent out?!

This is interesting but I guess I don’t know how to google me really to get those kinds of figures.

Great pics on your blog, BTW.

Hello Maryam - to google yourself you just go to google and put your name in.

You could also try it between “speechmarks” to refine the result.

If your name also appears on my site and you Google yourself and then follow the link to my site, I can fnid out from my web stats. If you want to test it then you could make a donation to VSO and get your name on my site :p
