Life In Spain, Costa Blanca British Expatriates community forums - The Spain forums and living a new life in Spain

The Spain forum as it is today has taken over two years to grow and develop from my early dabbling with web site design.

Originally I had no intention or idea about developing an internet forum. Things have just progressed from a simple idea and grown with time.

Now as well as the forum I am behind more than 30 other web sites. Most of which rank number one for key terms such as "Catral" "Dolores Spain" and "Almoradi" to name but a few.

I have created and written Search Engine Optimisation add on´s for several bits of software which use this forums software along with honing my own web site and forum search engine optimisation skills. Several times proving what people say and recommend to be myths.

It's like I'm some street corner thug who's come off second best.
Yes, it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "You're not welcome 'ere".
But when Saddam was collar'd, they was quick enough to cheer.

They're...

Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on. The
first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table
because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'

The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything
inside them is colour-coded.'

The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best;
everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'

The fourth...

Miss Joyce

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?'

80% held up their hands.
