Sylvie … how do you find out your Google PageRank???
70steen you can download the google pagerank toolbar: http://www.google.com/toolbar/ff/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-ww-google&utm_medium=ha&tbbrand=GZAZ yours is ranked @ 3…boogie on!
Actually, you don’t have to download the toolbar to check pagerank, you can use the online one here.
I tried sending you email today Sylvie, but canada.com is having a brain fart day and my mail is frustrating me. I saved it in draft to send you later.
…what’s a Page Rank?
It’s been so long…I feel like a virgin.
Well John, if you’d put away the white dress and torn fishnets and stop dancing around like that, maybe we could talk seriously for a minute or two…
@fracas: still nothing Fracas – Canada is a long way from us I guess
Thanks Sylvie and Dear Frac I will go take a look …. my oh my I do have a rather worrying image if John in my head now [& not for the first time lol

Sylvie – I couldn’t send anything yesterday… it kept giving me a fail message. I haven’t been on since, sick.. slept all morning today. I’ll try again shortly.
70steen – LOL… and to make matters worse, he was on twitter last night talking about smatterings and other things. I wonder if he’s just trying to fill in for DP and make sure we all get our daily dose of flotsam?
@fracas: received and responded —hope you will get my answer!
{added your blogs to the list and will update on widgets as soon as we are ready to go}
thanks Fracas
Sounds like a promising idea
I’m brand new to FMB but the ads sounds like a fab idea. It would be nice if the ads were appropriate to the blog categories – dvds or cds for entertainment blogs, travel links for travel blogs and so on.
I’ll email Sylvie
