Comment on My MP responds to the Digital Economy Bill by Sam Stokes

(I’m a bit late, but better that than never, etc…)
Thanks for posting his response. Not much to go on as you say, but I wouldn’t have expected the Deputy Chief Whip to go “oh yes, I see what you mean, the Government is wrong after all”!

My MP also wrote back, and I’ve blogged my response to her response: http://blog.samstokes.co.uk/post/263522599/why-the-digital-economy-bill-is-flawed

Glyn Wintle pointed me at the Open Rights Group’s page about writing to MPs, which looks like a collection of useful tips: http://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/Letter_writing

BTW, your footer seems to be broken – it says “This site is using OpenAvatar based on” and then just breaks off.

Comment on Is the five page static website dead? by Drums Video

Amen to the end of the 5 page websites. You are absolutely right about the need for content management. “Content is king” becomes more true each day.

Comment on New Joomla! banner component by Tessa

This seems like a perfect solution for our site, but I am having issues with the install. The flash is coming through in the Banner portion and I installed the module but I get a broken image icon on my site where the banners should be. I also do not see where the start and end dates are entered (which may be the cause). Did I miss something??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Your title is kinda funny LOL. Anyway, I’m also not using Twitter, I would love too but I’m already full with other social media. Facebook alone is kinda hard for me to keep it updated and continue making connections/discussions with my Facebook friends (since I don’t know them personally!).

Well first of all, thanks for sharing this tip! Now I have a way of turning off that annoying feature. It wasn’t like that before, good thing I found your blog! Like you, though I stumble a lot of sites I don’t want them all to be bookmarked.
