If you need help with your PC, whatever type it is, check out my website:
http://www.pchelpforall.com. As you can tell, it's got "PC help for all" on
it.

Oh yeah, please sign my guestbook when you're there, I got plenty of
visitors, but no messages!

Well Peter,
a) I didn't fake a date & time, I just rewrote it, and
b) How does TWO instances of my advert constitute spamming?
c) And if you have any tips on how to make my site better - email me
please - I need the advice.

a) Learn how to post correctly.
b) Two attempts at promoting your site within a couple of days
could be considered as spamming.
c) Confining your site to your hard drive would enhance it
tremendously.

>Well Peter,

I see you cannot read my name properly. Good start that: "how to win
friends and influence people"

>a) I didn't fake a date & time, I just rewrote it, and

So you wrote one article, rewrote and posted the amended one then posted
the original a day later ? Outhouse Distress doesn't timestamp articles
when you *start* to write them so you are being a little economical with
the truth as it could not be in your outbox to upload to the server or
we would have seen it earlier.

>b) How does TWO instances of my advert constitute spamming?

*two* adverts for the same site in the space of *two* days in *one*
newsgroup with a false date/time looks like you are going down the
spam route.

>c) And if you have any tips on how to make my site better - email me
>please - I need the advice.

Sorry, don't do email. You'll get the comments here. You need advice,
yes. However, you have a link on your site to "My Company's Site" which
turns out to say they are a web design company in business since 1996.
Ask your staff/superiors [delete as applicable] then or are you just the
tea boy/nothing to do with them [ditto as above].

I, in fact, design web sites for them.
"The ultimate windows help site" was a creation i designed for fun about 3
years ago, and pursued it. I never quite got around to REALLY re-vamping
it.
I also build computers for them, and solve any technical problems, to save
money on the pro's. And I have had a 0% failure rate so far. So there!

Either you are a blatant liar or you work for a crowd of spivs
not adverse to hiring child labour. Your own (and I use the term
loosely) site clearly states that you were born on 12 September
1984, therefore you have only just turned 16. Either you are
living in virtual reality or being exploited, I suspect the
former is the case, but if not I strongly advise you to contact
Social Services.

No they actually kept me on from work experience in July, and i worked for
them cheap during the summer holidays.
