Yeah...
Mr. Langa has kindly included my website in his newsletter. (For a third time.) I had to resubmit my site to him the second time because my URL had to change. Due to a stupid mistake by me. Well, I explain it here. Anyways, the third time I submitted my site, my address changed again. However, I now have a domain name of my very own. So even if my web hosts ever change in the future, the address will still be the same. So, hopefully, no more of this losing visitor stuff. I used to get a lot of visitors to the site and now, slowly but surely, I'm rebuilding my traffic, thanks to Fred and the Google AdWords program. Anywho, see ya guys in the future.
