I am one of the least technically minded people you
might ever meet. My mobile telephone has a battery that doesn’t hold its charge
and so it sits in my study immobile. I use it once or twice a year and would
struggle to send a text message even if I wanted to do so. But I have a new web
domain.
The key with any problem is to be tenacious in
solving it. I was unable to share links from my site on Twitter. I thought of a
workaround, but it was a bit fiddly and clunky, so finally I’ve taken the step
of purchasing my own domain. It is:
Don’t worry the initial expenditure was trivial. Ongoing costs I hope will be covered by the
pittance Google sometimes gives me from advertising.
Most of my traffic comes from either Facebook or Twitter,
but I hope over time that this new domain will help my site to be more visible
on Google. I have done all I can to get everything indexed, but it may take a
while.
In the meantime to celebrate this new domain I have
decided to make available some very long pieces of work that have sat on my
computer unread by anyone.
I like to write and when I have taken various breaks
from blogging I have kept myself busy with other forms of writing. They are all really far too long to read on a
website, so feel free to copy and paste into a word document or if you would
prefer a version that can be read on a Kindle feel free to get in touch and I
will send you one.
Pro UK people writers tend to attract a remarkable
amount of hostility from our dear opponents. Getting abuse on Amazon isn’t much
fun, so perhaps this will turn out to be a better form of publishing.
Please continue to Tweet, share and follow. Only in
this way can we defeat those who would prefer to keep us silent.
