Bumper Scuffs
I went to the shops this morning and when I came back some idiot has gone and scuffed my bumper getting their car out of the space - normally I try and park away from everyone but today the small car park was full so I used the only empty space and now have to pay for a repair! They didn't even leave me a note with their details.
The scuff looked like this one.

I will be using the smart repair service from the dent shop to get this repaired for a low cost repair solution.

Driving in Fog
A bit of a rant really
As in my previous post I went to Agility training tonight with my springer spaniel Myah.
The class isn't near so we have to drive there it was a very foggy night and we have to go through lots of lanes to get there, as you can image it is very difficult to see, yet even harder when cars can't be bothered to turn off main beem. Now this really annoys me the main reason being is I turned my main beem on and turned it straight off as it made it even harder to see, so why were these people even bothering to switch it on? It made me think how many people switch on Fog Lights, use main beem in the hope it will make it better, how many people try different configurations to find out how to see the best.
Just seems crazy to me that these people are flying down these lanes main beem on with no respect to oncoming traffic, next minute with will have a car accident and end up visiting somewhere like the Dent Shop, and will blame the fog, when really it was their bad driving descions.
Please Please remember if you are using main beem down a lane turn it off when you have people coming the other way.
Rant over - Feel better now :)

Springer Spaniel Agility Training
I take my Springer Spaniel training 2 times a week, tonight was Agility training, we haven't been going long but she is picking it up quickly. Still not sure whos agility we are trainging I seem to run around as much as Myah :)
Not many people showed up to training this evening so the class was split up differently as Myah has been doing so well recently we were put in with some of the more experianced dogs, she worked really hard and did what she was asked we started doing more of the exercises off lead and she ran through the exercises well.
I think it must have been a bit more demanding on her this week as 10 mins before the end she decided enough was enough and refused to run the course - not to worry the instructors were very happy with her progress and commented on how well she had done.
Well done Myah!!!!

Dog's - Springer Spaniels
I thought I would create a quick post regarding my springer spaniel as she is such a funny dog.
Springer Spaniels are not a breed for everyone especialy if they are the working vairety such as mine - they can't be left at home all day like somedogs as they get bored if they haven't got anything to do. They are the sort of dog you can spend an hour of so walking get home and they are looking at the door to go out again as if you haven't taken them.
Saying this in my mind they are the best breed of dog they are so much fun and eager to learn, I take my springer spaniel training two times a week, the first training session is obedience training so she learns good heal work and recalls, and other basic good behavour I recommend these classes to any dog owner as it is a great chance for your dog to socialise with other humans and dogs. The second training session of the week is agility - this is probably most seen on the tv in shows such as crufts when you see dogs doing an assult course of jumps tunnels and weaves - this training session was recommended to me by one of the people I met at the obedience class, and is something I wasn't sure of at first but after my first session I was hooked and more to the point my dog loved it - we are by no means experts but we are both picking it up quickly and due to her speed once we crack the technique she will be getting very fast times.
To show my love of the breed I have set up a Springer Spaniel Forum - www.myspringer.co.uk - I have included basic information on a breed but I wanted a place springer spaniel owners could visit and share their experiances and get help with any problems.

Talking to a Website Designer
Talking to a Website Designer
Many people have told me over the years I have an idea for what I want from a website but cant explain it and cant draw it what can I do.
This is a common problem for people wanting a new website it isn't easy to put what is in your head on paper. One of the things I recommend people do is look around the internet and send a list to a designer of websites you like - elements of these sites you would like on yours - sites you don't like - features you thing mess up a website design. Think of colours you would like to use and send a list, I would not try to put those colours to elements, let your designer do the work.
If you can put it down on paper you are obviously not a designer so my advice is to give your website designer chance to create a design for you, use their expertise to create a really great looking design they may even come up with something better than you could ever imagine. Remember you can always tell them you don't like it, but try to give as much feedback as possible work as a team to get a really great looking website.

Get On Google
Get On Google
Many people contact me asking how do I "get on Google"? Well in some cases Google probably doesn't even know you are there, have you submitted your URL and XML sitemap? Have you had anyone link to your website? If not how would Google know you are even on the web - come to that how would anyone else?
If you are this point I would recommend contacting a Search Engine Optimisation company - yes there are tips and tricks you can find on the internet but to be honest I think it is false ecconomy to try this yourself you could spend months not getting anywhere are that means you may have missed out on customers - a good SEO will bring you in more money than you will spend - think of it as an investment not a cost.

Springer Website Design
Well I thought my second blog should be about my business Springer Website Design - www.springerwebsitedesign.co.uk - I provide a range of web based services to make sure that my customers get the most from their websites.
I started this business because I felt there are so many website designers around who ignore the whole purpose of a website and focus to much on the design aspect - and forget the REAL reason people want a website - to promote their business. How can they do that if no one can find it in Google , Yahoo etc...
To help these businesses we offer a service called Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short, basically the service does what it says optimises website for search engines. We do this by researching what people really look for and make sure the websites are setup for these phrases, this includes working both on the HTML code on the site and working offsite to build new incoming links.
