Abject apology

Gosh! It's been two months almost since I last posted on the blog. Don't know where that went to!
The Master Lock and Safe website has started producing encouraging levels of sales, despite the postal strike putting people off buying on line. It's taken a while but everything seems to be coming together now. I'm still trying to get the SEO sorted out, but I think that might turn into a permanent task. I'm studying the Adwords campaign to try and get as much out of it as possible for as little outlay as possible. I've given up on Google Analytics and am now using Statcounter with an enlarged log as I seem to be able to track customers much better with this.
There's quite a lot of new product gone on over the past few weeks as well. Loads of keys, digital locks, window lock keys etc., so follow one of the links and have a look. Tell your friends!!!
I've also got my own website up and running as well. http://www.peterdraper.co.uk
was designed using Serif page plus X2 and I think it looks pretty good.
So what's been happening in the world? Went to church as per usual on Sunday and thought that our Remembrance day service was just about the best I've ever been to. I usually end up feeling either annoyed that I've appeared to support a war I don't agree with or annoyed that the preacher hasn't expressed enough support for the troops 'cos it's not their fault that they're asked to fight wars for questionable ends. Sunday however seemed just right. I spoke to several people afterwards and we all felt our Minister Peter got it just right. Well done!!!
On a less serious note I watched bits of the X Factor over the weekend and noticed that part of the incidental music is a bit from Kashmir (I think) by Led Zeppelin not the any of the judges would know that, steeped as they are in stereotyped R'nB. Has it occurred to anyone that Led Zep are just the type of act that X Factor excludes. Frighteningly talented, individual. All the contestants seem to want to be Justin Timberlake or Mariah Carey. If the new Bob Dylan turned up at an audition, he'd never get through the first round!
