So here I am with my new site.... It's bordering on being ready to publicise and I think I'll have a nosey at "that directory" to find the best category for submission.... Apparently it's been FUBAR'D for new submissions for a month due to a hardware problem yikes

A month, a month for an internet resource to be down? I'd be shot if one of my customers was down for even a day.

Talk about bad timing ranting

Is there a Data Networking section?

I must have been on the phone for a good hour with her trying to find the best category to put me in. Well I do a bit of that but not much, bit of that too but I dont have a shop etc etc etc.

I am reminded of my time as an immigration lawyer.

"Either you go down on me, or I'll have the Home Office down on you."

They should call you and ask where you want your free line ad.

Thats what they did with me, I'm not having a big ad as its a next to pointless medium for me to advertise in at the cost that it is.

Er indoors does though and it works well for her.

The Google feed??

DMOZ?

Can we not say DMOZ?

Should I be self moderating?

Takes months and months mate, unless of course you become an editor for that category and approve yourself...

But I didnt say that, not me, no siree bob, no.
