My own sites are jumping around and I'm getting nervous myself. When I got up tonight I checked my business site, it now had a PR of 4/10 which was down from 5/10 :( but like an hour later I was working on it and I happened to glance at the toolbar and found it was back at 5/10. It's a crazy time on Google. Apart from Google, what are the other main search engines to worry about ranking on? I am assuming that if they are powered by Google then you just have to sort out Google and you will rank in these others too is this correct? Pretty much so. If an SE gleans it's results from Google, optimize sites for Google is what I do. But it doesn't hurt to poke around specific SE's to see if they have special requirements for submission either. Actually, you don't even have to submit a site to Google, their spiderbots will find sites w/o actually submitting them. Sorry, not up on the list of who's high up on the SE list, but a couple that come to mind would be AltaVista and Yahoo, but I know for sure Yahoo gets their stuff from Google, don't remember about AV ... however, do submit to Yahoo's directory is my suggestion. Same with AV if they have one. Haven't been over there lately and don't remember. Sorry if these are really basic questions. I seem to be reading up loads on search engines and not really finding answers - its very frustrating. Here's a suggestion for finding some good SE info. Go to another site of mine (this is easier than me listing them all for you) http://pixelresources.net (it's new so don't be alarmed there's not much there yet ...) and check out the WEB DEVELOPERS LINKS. There is already a nice little collection of great SE links to follow. You're of course, invited to add your own business if you like, join in the forums and anything else on the site. It's open to all on this list and your friends in the business as well. The more the merrier, ya know?

Hi Ali, I've got to set up a mailing list -- it's the delivery of a newsletter, actually, that's going to go out, but the members can't send to the entire list, just to admin. There's a whole wack of choices out there, but I'm not sure who to go with. Free is great, cheap is good -- I'd pay a bit to not deal with ads or other nonsense tucked in though. Any you found to be good, or to avoid entirely? Are you looking for a program to do it, or a service (like Yahoo Groups kind of thing, but better)? If you're looking for a program I'd definately recommend Mailman - I've just moved the wdvltalk-social list onto it, and so far it seems pretty good! See http://www.wdvltalk-social.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/wdvltalk-social for a bit of info on the wdvltalk-social list, and http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html for info on Mailman!

Hi Stephen, Yeah, I've been poking around hotscripts.com and a few other places lately for various scripts, but there's so many options around, I'm not sure which way to go... which is why I was hoping to hear what those on the list liked/used before. (And thank you to those who have). The computer's a PC, Win98 using Outlook Express. If you mean the server where the hosting is at, it's linux/unix. Anything PHP or perl's good to go.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the site to check. I'd probably have to go with a premium acct to
cut out the advertising, but I don't really have a problem with that if it's
a good service. I'm going to check into a few more, but thanks for the heads
up. :)

Hi David, I like the the look of Mailman so far from what I read. That it doesn't run through or off someone elses' server's a bonus too. Thanks! I'll be looking deeper into mailman.

[wdvltalk] saving emails and folders in OE6
I want to take all my stuff to another computer, as well as reformat this one. I've never been able to successfully complete an export etc. and am not sure what I'm missing, or if there is a better way. I want to save all my emails (that I've weeded out and need to hang on to) but there are too many to save indiviudually to some easy to find place on my machine to burn to a cd. I also want to save all my contacts as well, and that is what I've messed up trying to do the export/import thing. I'm using Outlook Express on XPhome , and it seems impossible to find the folder that contains all this stuff so I can burn it to a cd. I just don't know what I'm doing - any tips?

I back some e-mails to CD by dragging and dropping them from Outook to the CD Window. You can do a Select All (CTRL+A) and copy them all at once if they are in the same folder. Or you can hold down shift to select a group of e-mails to copy in Outlook. Hope this helps some. /Sol The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[wdvltalk] RE: saving emails and folders in OE6
In OE, go to Tools Options. Click on the Maintnance tab. Click on the Store Folder ... button. That will tell you where all your folders, Inbox, and everything else, live. You can copy all of the files in that folder to a CD or otherwise get them to the new PC. Then, change the Store Folder on the new PC by going to Tools Options, Maintenance tab, and click on the Store Folder ... button and then on the Change ... button. As far as the address book, I've never exported and re-imported that, but it looks like exporting to text (comma separated valus) is a safe bet, then File Import Other Address Book ... And pick the Text (comma separated valus).
