Are you possibly interested in a link exchange?
Thanks, Ron

I’m not really interested in link exchanging but I like the info on your site so I have added it. I tend to just add sites that are of use or interest to me and hope that others would view linking to my blog in the same way.

Are you still not interested in exchanging links with other sites? If you are I would like to.
My site is http://www.davescomputertips.com. I will let you choose the link page you think is appropriate, as well as the content of your text link.
All I ask is a link titled Daves Computer Tips – A free bi-weekly newsletter and and online resource for computer users. linking to my homepage.
Thanks for your time. I hope all is going well.

Dave, it’s not that I’m not interested in exchanging links, I’m just interested in adding links that I have a personal interest in. Consider it more a list of my favourites/bookmarks, which is designed to be of use primarily for me only. If somebody finds my links of use, that’s great but it’s not the intention. I’m not trying to have the most popular blog or anything like that, I’m just using my blog as a holding place for links, info etc., that are of interest to me so that I can find them easily if I have to. I’m delighted when my blog is linked to, but I would hope that people did this because they found my blog of interest to them, rather than the purpose of just having a link back to their own blog to increase hits. I hope you find something of interest on my blog, and if you do, it would be great for you to link back to me under Personal Website Links. I happen to like some of the info on your site and I have added you to my links/blogroll under IT Tech Stuff. You might be interested in checking out my list of Recommended Software.

Hello,
I have been visiting your The Blog That Should Not Be blog a few times recently and I like the way you write about things, you have very funny and interesting Irish perspective. As a foreigner who has been leaving in Ireland for last 10 years I enjoy it a lot! I am a photographer, based here in Dublin, specializing in black and white Irish landscapes – you can see my portfolio at: http://www.PhilPankov.com
I was wondering if you would like to use any of my images to illustrate your blog – both Daragh from http://www.dublinblog.ie and Michael and Kevin from http://disillusionedlefty.blogspot.com used my images as headings on their Irish blogs. If you are interested in using my images, please let me know which ones and I will email you high-resolution files, free of charge of course. My only request would be for you to add and maintain a link to my site – I am sure your visitors would be interested in seeing modern Ireland in ‘classic black and white’ format.
Alternatively, if you are interested, maybe you would like to exchange the links between our sites? Please let me know what description you would like and I will add your blog to my links page. I would like to have for my visitors more links to blogs of Irish interest.
By the way, last week I just finished uploading my 26 new photos from this year, mostly from Ireland: http://www.philpankov.com/-/philpankov/gallery.asp?cat=39213 – let me know what you think of them, if you have time.

Happy Chritsmas to you Mel,
I hope Al, Shar and Dar are well.
May ye have comfort and joy this yule,
Just as baby Jesus was kept warm by a mule.
I hope you are happy and the day goes your way,
Like a wino, drinking buckfast in a doorway.
Maybe youll get from santy a surprise
A ipod, a camera, or an interest rate rise.
Now I’m getting hungry and my tummys rumblin,
like the lorrys going through the tunnel in dublin.
So lets eat drink and be merry
but not get sick, like a celtic fan on the ferry.

Hey there,
Been reading up on your previous blog “The Blog That Shall Not Be”, and was mighty impressed by your style of writing. I came across an entry describing a Suzuki Cappuccino, was wondering if you’ve gotten it already?
I want to get a Capp myself, but I heard they’re out of production or something. Any idea where I can get them? Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
crustation
Mel said
Hi Crustation, thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.
Unfortunately I never got a cappo and don’t think I’ll be getting one, especially after the birth of my second child two months ago. Don’t know your location so can’t recommend anything based on this but possibly the best places to check in relation to buying a cappo would be SCORE – Suzuki Cappuccino Owners Register for Enthusiasts and Cappuccino Sport
The cappo is no longer being manufactured, having been in production from 1991 to 1998.
I have driven the cappo and it is an amazing car.
Best of luck,
Mel

Hi mel,
I have a fitness web site, Fitness Uncovered and was interested to see if you think it would be suitable to place in your links of interesting sites. We have lots of good info on it IMO, but obviously thats for you to decide.
Thanks alot Mel,
Andy
